RE: Number of Records in a System Test

Thanks for the suggestions.  By "date function" I assume you mean the
year(), month() and dayofmonth()functions which can be combined into a date
function.  I was not aware of a date function, per se.

If your goal is to compute system results year-by-year or for certain
periods without having to change the number of records loaded in a
chart, Herman van den Bergen posted a nifty solution a while ago.
In your System Tester entry and exit tabs simply add the following:

Year() = opt1 AND {Entry parameters}

Your optimization report will be a nice year-by-year summary. You
can also modify the date function to produce a range of dates, or
even a breakdown by month, day, hour, etc.
