Command Line Options

Context: Command Line

The option letters, equivalent qualifiers and purpose are

Main options

Option	Qualifier time	Purpose
C	!CONTINUE	use any parameter estimates from a previous run as starting values
F	!FINAL	use any parameter estimates from a previous run as starting values and do one iteration only
Gg	!GRAPHICS g	Defines form of hardcopy graphics: 1=HPGL, 2=PS, 11=WMF, 12=HPGL2, 22=EPS
Hg	!HARDCOPY g	Suppresses graphics from appearing on the screen but still writes them to file: 1=HPGL, 2=PS, 11=WMF, 12=HPGL2, 22=EPS
Rr	!RENAME [r]	modify the output file names to include the first r arguments and rerun the job (if !ONERUN is omitted) cycling through any additional arguments
Wm	!WORKSPACE m	requests workspace of m Mbytes e.g. W1000

Other options

Option	Qualifier time	Purpose
A	!ASK	supply options string interactively
B1	!BRIEF 1	reduce volume of output written to .asr file
B2	!BRIEF 2	reduce volume of output written to .asr file and redirect predicted values to .asr file
D	!DEBUG	write computational detail to screen or .asl file
E	!DEBUG 2	write even more computational detail to the screen or .asl file
I	!INTERACTIVE	allows graphics to be formed when !LOGFILE is active
J	!JOIN	See the !CYCLE looping procedure
L	!LOGFILE	redirects most screen output to the .asl file; suppresses graphics unless !INTERACTIVE is also set
N	!NOGRAPHS	suppresses formation of graphics
O	!ONERUN	limits job to performing 1 analysis when the !RENAME qualifier might otherwise attempt multiple analyses
P	none	filename refers to a .pin file: calculate functions of variance components
Q	!QUIET	suppresses all requests for a user response
Ss	none	Specify workspace requirements 3=64Mb, 4=128Mb, 5=256Mb, 6=512Mb, 7=1024Mb, 8=2048Mb
Yy	!YVAR y	requests analysis of the response variable numbered y
Z	none	reports license details.

Examples

asreml -LW64 rat.as increases workspace to 64 Mbyte, sends screen output to rat.asl and suppress interactive graphics.

asreml -IL rat.as send screen output to rat.asl but display interactive graphics

asreml -N rat.as} allow screen output but suppress interactive graphics

asreml -ILW512 rat.as increases workspace to 512 Mbyte, send screen output to rat.asl but displays interactive graphics. asreml -rs3 coop wwt ywt runs coop.as twice writing results to coopwwt.as and coopywt.as using 64Mb workspace and substituting wwt and ywt for $1 in the two runs.
