SIMRUN

SIMRUN is available in the Statistics Base Edition.

The SIMRUN command runs a simulation based on a simulation plan created from the SIMPLAN command. All settings required to run the simulation are specified in the simulation plan file. The SIMRUN command only provides options for customizing the output.

** Default if the subcommand or keyword is omitted.

This command does not read the active dataset or execute pending transformations.

Syntax for the SIMRUN command can be generated from the Simulation Builder or the Run Simulation dialog.
