Changes in Previous Versions of the Macro Commands
The following sections describe change made in previous revisions of the
specification.
Version 1.00 to 3.00
DATUM The documentation has not changed. In prior versions of the software
however, if you passed more than one value, the extra values would be put in adjacent
cells. Now it goes into the current cell only, as per spec.
COL.INFO This was documented as only allowing you to view a column format. The
software will also let you set a column format also. This is now documented.
FILE.INSERT The format parameter now includes all the formats that can be read or
imported. The default for this is now to use whatever the user's normal file format
is (usually QDB or DBF).
NEW You can no longer pass a sample size for a data set.
NEW.CHART Sigma.for.indices is no longer accepted for a Process Capability chart (the
control-limit ordinate is always used). This argument should passed as null.
Also the parameters required for Moving Avg-R and Moving Avg-S charts have
changed slightly.
NEW.LIST The sample.size argument for the new data set is no longer accepted. This
argument should passed as null. The data.set.type argument now gives an
Attributes data set for both value 2 and 3 (the software no longer distinguishes
between NP or C and P or U attributes data sets). The col.type argument(s) can now
be T for Time, and can no longer be L for Logical.
OPEN The format parameter now includes all the formats that can be read or
imported. The default for this is now to use whatever the user's normal file format
is (usually QDB or DBF).
SET.HEADER There are extra values (codes 57-59) relating to the new way of specifying
samples size(s) for Attributes data.
SET.S.SIZE This command is no longer supported.
Version 3.00
NEW.CHART. Because several chart options are now stored in the analysis options (aka
header) for each column, the parameter lists for Process Capability and Cu Sum
are now shorter. Because short run is now fully implemented (also using values
stored in column analysis options), any charts that took a nominals.column
parameter now ignore this value.
Version 3.01
CHART.RECALC. This command now returns the name of the chart.
OPEN. This command now accepts a value of 8 for the format parameter for Kurt Check Part Files.
PRINT, PRINT.CHART, PRINT.STATS. These commands now return "Y" if they are successful.
Version 3.10
NEW.CHART. You can now pass a row range query to this command. The syntax for
ordering a Pareto chart has been changed to reflect changes in the program.
New commands CLOSE.ALL, CLOSE.APP, DATA.TYPE, PASTE.CLIP, QUERY.CHART, ROW.DELETE, and ROW.INSERT.
Version 3.20
NEW.CHART. The chart title returned by this command has changed for some chart types. This should not
actually affect you since you should not be assuming anything about the format
of the chart title returned, just storing it for use in later commands. Also
the stats.window parameter is now stats.pane, since V3.20 implements the chart and the stats as panes in the same window.
New commands COPY.CLIP and SET.CHART.HEADER.
In V3.20, charts have their own analysis and chart format options that are
independent of those in the data set that the chart is based upon. You need to
use the SET.CHART.HEADER command if you want to update those in a chart (or
change them in the data set before the chart is created).
Version 3.21 (007):
CLOSE.ALL and CLOSE.APP. These functions now will not show the “File changed, do you wish to save changes?” message box before closing each window that has been changed. It is your
responsibility to save each data or chart file if necessary before calling either
them.
NEW.CHART. You can now pass both a numeric group range and a query condition at the
same time. There are now parameters for all the checkboxes that appear on the
Chart Options dialog box. The EWMA, Autocorrelation and Run Charts are now all
supported. Some documentation errors were corrected.
QUERY.CHART. Additional values are now available. Some documentation omissions were
corrected.
SET.HEADER. Additional parameters may now be set. Some documentation omissions were
corrected.
Version 3.5 (015):
New commands PRINT.ALLCHARTS, ODBC.EXECUTE, and ODBC.REQUERY.
OPEN. Additional file type is now available. Some documentation omissions were
corrected.
SAVE. Chart is now available. Some documentation omissions were corrected.
Version 3.60 (016):
NEW.CHART. Old Multivariate chart type (8) removed, new Multivariate/PCA chart type
(18) added.
- SHOW.SUBCHART. New command added to show a Multivariate/PCA subchart.
Version 3.61 (021)
- CHART.VIEW.RANGE : added to provide Zoom / Pan functionality
- PRINT.CHART: revised to support printing to image file formats, including
JPEG, PCX and WMF.
