- Value to be entered by the operator via the standard input device for
- each step time during execution of the statement(s) in which an OPER
- variable appears. A prompt is issued before each data value unless
- this prompt is suppressed by a 'YES' setting for the 'Suppress OPER
- prompt?' Execution option.
-
- Note: One OPER value is input for each step time, not for each use of
- the OPER variable within a statement.
-
- Values entered may be floating point numbers, dates (mm/dd/yy), or
- hours (hh:mm:ss). If a prompt is output, its format conforms to the
- current XFORMAT setting (NOMINAL, DATES, HOURS).
-
- Since the value for OPER is taken from the standard input device, you
- may wish to suppress the prompt and use DOS's I/O redirection
- feature to input data from an ASCII file containing just data values
- (no time tags). This file must be terminated with a control-Z.
