IV. Known Bugs

ordinal():

1. The ordinal() function has several bugs associated with it. In order to force it to have correct ordinal values (unless it is already set when padding dead traces) use:

   edit:out= force.x force.y

2. Another unknown problem exists and can be demonstrated with the following example:
   
   
   • The second term of the following example will be ignored for some reason:

     write:out.CDPBCX= 10000 + 3*ordinal(2) +4*ordinal(3)

   • But the following works:

     write:out.CDPBCX= 10000 + 3*(ordinal(2) +4*ordinal(3)⁄3)
