12 Command file: Running the job 178• options is a string preceded by a - (minus) sign. Its components control severaloperations (batch, graphic, workspace, . . . ) at run time; for example, thecommand lineASReml -w128 rat.astells ASReml to run the job rat.as with workspace allocation of 128mb,• arguments provide a mechanism (mostly for advanced users) to modify a jobat run time; for example, the command lineASReml rat.as alpha betatells ASReml to process the job in rat.as as if it read alpha wherever $1 appearsin the file rat.as, beta wherever $2 appears and 0 wherever $3 appears(see below).Processing a .pin fileIf the filename argument is a .pin file, (see Chapter 11), then ASReml processesit. If the pinfile basename differs from the basename of the output files it isprocessing, then the basename of the output files must be specified with the Poption letter. ThusASReml border.pinwill perform the pinfile calculations defined in border.pin on the results in filesborder.asr and border.vvp.ASReml -Pborderwwt border.pinwill perform the pinfile calculations defined in border.pin on the results in filesborderwwt.asr and borderwwt.vvp.Forming a job template from data fileNewThe facility to generate a template .as file has been moved to the command line,and extended. Normally, the name of a .as command file is specified on thecommand line. If a .as file does not exist and a file with file extension .asd,.csv, .dat, .gsh, .txt or .xls is specified, ASReml assumes the data file has fieldlabels in the first row and generates a .as file template. First, it seeks to convertthe .gsh (Genstat) or .xls (Excel, see page 44) file to .csv format using theASRemload.dll utility provided by VSN. In generating the .as template, ASReml
