I think may be useful to have a command that clears the series
in the dataset without deleting from memory the currently
defined matrices. This will do easier to deal with data in
different disagregation periods.
It can be also convenient to have a text command equivalent to
/File/clear dataset, and another text command equivalent to
/File/Append data
The simple point first: the "append" command does what
/File/Append data does.
As for clearing data, I've put some experimental things is place.
For the script equivalent of "/File/Clear data set" I've added a
"clear" argument to the "dataset" command. That is, you say
dataset clear
But this has a "preserve" option:
dataset clear --preserve
which has the effect that existing named matrices are not
destroyed.
Similarly, the commands "open" and "nulldata" have a --preserve
option: clear most stuff out, but keep matrices.
At present the --preserve option does not have a GUI counterpart.
Allin.
