(New or interesting aspects of GHS that you may not know about) |
DB Procedures
(Requires GHS version 17.00 or later) |
(Use the command DB Update to get the latest version
of the Data Base software.)
The best way to describe Data Base Procedures is by means of an example: |
A Procedure consists of a series of calculation steps chosen
from a menu of step types.
After picking a step type you enter parameters to finish the step configuration. Here is the setup for the Stability step type: |
(The stability criterion codes shown above are from the GHS Advanced-Features Stability command.)
The command DB EditProc brings up the dialog shown above. The command DB ExeProc executes a procedure. Both of these commands take the procedure name as a parameter. If you've made too many Procedures to remember all their names, DB Procs brings up a list of all known Procedures for the present ship. Procedures can be exported to a library accessible when working with any ship. That and many other features of Data Base Procedures will be featured in subsequent COWs. |
