EOPTION: Set Error Options
The random generator for MAD is taken from
[Knuth].
The error option command specifies different seeds for random values:
EOPTION,SEED=real,ADD=logical;
- SEED:
Selects a particular sequence of random values.
A SEED value is an integer in the range [0...999999999] (default: 123456789).
SEED alone continues with the current sequence
See also: Random values.
SEED may be an expression.
- ADD:
If this logical flag is set,
an EALIGN or EFCOMP, causes the errors to
be added on top of existing ones.
If it is not set, new errors overwrite any previous definitions.
The default value is TRUE if it is omitted in the EOPTION command.
The default value is false if no EOPTION command is used.
Please note a recent modification: the default value for the ADD
option is only applied as long as the ADD option has not been set explicitly.
Once it was set with EOPTION, it is NOT reset to the default when
the ADD option is omitted in subsequent calls to EOPTION.
Example:
EOPTION,SEED=987456321;
