Default type

To enhance the convenience for the user, not all files need to be specified by the keywords target, comp and skip. The keyword deftype may be used to assign a default dataset type.

1. Use deftype target to assign the target attribute by default. If no deftype keyword is provided, this setting is activated.
2. Use deftype comp to assign the comp attribute by default.
3. Use deftype skip to assign the skip attribute by default.

Example. The sample project types contains the same input as the project CinderellaNative (p.), and the file types.cnd contains the two lines

deftype target
comp 0

This reproduces the default assignment of data types, and CINDERELLA performs the same calculations as for the project CinderellaNative. The only difference is the screen output:

*** dataset type assignment ********************************

000000.types.dat: comparison
000001.types.dat: target
000002.types.dat: target
000003.types.dat: target
000004.types.dat: target
000005.types.dat: target
000006.types.dat: target
000007.types.dat: target
000008.types.dat: target

The fact that (default) is not attached to the file list indicates that CINDERELLA uses the specifications given in the file types.cnd rather than the standard settings applied to the project CinderellaNative.
