Requesting Preselected Output

You can request the preselected, procedure-specific incrementation output variables. In this case you can specify additional variables as part of the output request.

Alternatively, you can request all incrementation variables applicable to the current procedure type. In this case any additional variables you specify are ignored.

Input File Usage

Use the following option to request the preselected incrementation output variables:

INCREMENTATION OUTPUT, VARIABLE=PRESELECT

Use the following option to request all applicable incrementation output variables:
