$title 'Lag and Lead operations on Dynamic Sets' (LAGD1,SEG=560) $onText Lag and lead operations require the reference set to be ordered and constant. In some special cases one would want to use those operation on dynamic and/or unordered sets. A DCO option on/offOrder has been added to locally relax the default requirements. The use of this option comes with a price, the system will not be able to diagnose odd and incorrect formulations and data sets. A small example will be used to illustrate the use of $onOrder and $offOrder. We would like to have a circular lead on the content of a slice as shown below. $offText set a / a1,a2,a3 /, c /c1*c7 /, ac(a,c) / a1.(c2 ,c3 ,c5), a3.c3 / desiredacc(a,c,c) circular lead / a1.(c2.c3,c3.c5,c5.c2), a3.c3.c3 / acc(a,c,c), wrongacc(a,c,c); wrongacc(ac(a,c),c++1) = yes; display wrongacc; * the above assignment will not work because the lead operator is relative to * the set c. we do need to extract the content of the second index position to * be used as a reference set and relax the requirement to have a ordered and/or * dynamic reference sets. set temp(c); $offOrder loop(a, temp(c) = ac(a,c); acc(ac(a,temp),temp++1) = yes); $onOrder * arrange the display in list format option ac:0:0:1,acc:0:0:1; display ac,acc;
