Monthly log files: Difference between revisions

'''Tips''' -- take a copy of the original log file before you work on it outside Cumulus (perhaps callgive the ''not to be touched copy'' a filename of "<Month><Year>log.csv"). Edit the original file using an editor that treats all fields as text [either any text editor, or a spreadsheet program that can be instructed ''not'' to recognise special field (like date) types].

'''Rules''' -- Each line must contain the fields in correct sequence (since new versions/builds can add to number of fields, Cumulus will accept lines of various lengths without the more recent fields at the end). Nulls ',,' are not allowed in the line, so if you do not know the value for a particular field within the line, then type in ana extremezero with opposite value (e.g.or -999.9 for(check athe signed decimal maximum,format and 999.9range forof anumbers decimalallowed minimum - assuming your system decimal format is usingfor fullparticular stopsfields).
