Thanks for your attention to this matter. I think that you are very
close to an ideal solution which does not over-complicate the
adjustment process like other implementations. It would be nice if
users read the standard output and error files but I am sure that they
will not. The x12arima console output does summarise errors and
warnings up front. This brings the problems directly to the attention
of the user. The trading day warning is mentioned on page 26 of the
standard output. Sample console output is below...
Thanks, John. I think we're getting there. In current CVS and
snapshots I have made these modifications:
(a) Add a check button for performing the trading days adjustment.
This is checked by default for monthly data, unchecked for
quarterly.
(b) Add a test for a non-empty x12a .err file: if we find a
non-empty file we display its content in a warning dialog.
