FSTN Command

The FSTN command provides forecasting of output and input network workstations. Only the database is used for this forecast.

This command has the following format:

►►─ FSTN ─ ,FROM=(mmddyy,hhmm) ─ , ─┬─ TO=(mmddyy,hhmm) ─┬────────────────────►
                                    └─ SPAN=hhhh ────────┘

 ►─┬───────────────────────┬─┬──────────────┬─┬──────────────────────┬────────►
   └─ ,NW= ─┬─ * ◄ ──────┬─┘ └─ ,RINT=hhmm ─┘ └─ ,SEQ= ─┬─ DLDT ◄ ─┬─┘
            ├─ network ──┤                              ├─ DODT ───┤
            └─ network* ─┘                              └─ STN ────┘

 ►─┬───────────────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────►◄
   └─ ,STN= ─┬─ * ◄ ─────────────────────┬─┘
             ├─ station ─────────────────┤
             ├─ station* ────────────────┤
             └─ (station1,...station10) ─┘

FROM

Defines the beginning date and time for the forecast time interval. FROM is required.

TO

Defines the ending date and time for the time interval to be forecast. Either TO or SPAN must be specified. If TO is used, SPAN must be omitted.

SPAN

Defines the length of the time interval to be forecast. This value is added to the FROM date and time-of-day to determine the ending date and time of the forecast time interval.

Limits: 1 to 4 numeric characters specified as hhhh where the minimum value is 1 hour and maximum value is 8784 hours

Required: Yes, unless TO is used
