Overview

The WriteCheckFile command summarizes the results of command processing warning/failure messages in a “check file”. This file is useful for reviewing results and for quality control. The check file is essentially a persistent record of any problems that occurred during processing organized by commands, whereas a full log file contains a sequential list of processing. See the CheckTimeSeries command to implement specific data checks.

Command Editor

The following dialog is used to edit the command and illustrates the syntax of the command.
