Running the SPAM TACL Macros
Running the SPAM TACL Macros
The TGATHER macro creates data files for your SPAM charts and reports. After you
run TGATHER, you can specify another TACL macro to modify how the compiled
Enform queries behave. For example, you can exclude, flag, or match various
measured entities.
If you did not include the TLOADSEG command in your TACLCSTM file, as explained
in Task 3.2: Load the TACL Macros on page 2-3, you need to run TLOADSEG before
running TGATHER.
