write_dssbatch {DSSAT}

Constructs and writes a DSSAT simulation batch file

Description

Constructs and writes a DSSAT simulation batch file

Usage

write_dssbatch(x, trtno = 1, rp = 1, sq = 0, op = 0, co = 0, file_name = NULL)

Arguments

x

a tibble/data frame or character vector; if a tibble, it should contain all required columns of a DSSAT batch file (FILEX, TRTNO, RP, SQ, OP, CO); if a character vector, it should contain FileX file names

trtno, rp, sq, op, co

a numeric vector

file_name

an optional character vector of the intended batch file name

Value

invisibly returns a character vector containing the content of a DSSAT batch file

Examples

# Create example batch file path
batch_file_path <- paste0(tempdir(),'/DSSBatch.V47')

# Write example batch file
write_dssbatch(x='UFGA0601.BMX', trtno=1:4, file_name = batch_file_path)

# Construct tibble for DSSAT batch file
batch_tbl <- data.frame(FILEX='UFGA0601.BMX',
                    TRTNO=1:4,
                    RP=1,
                    SQ=0,
                    OP=0,
                    CO=0)

# Write example batch file
write_dssbatch(batch_tbl, file_name = batch_file_path)
