Version 1.1.0.1

Major update. May 25th, 2018

  • New features
      Concatenation of attributes - Input variables can now be consolidated into less output attributes by concatenating their codes/labels according to specification made on the mapping. The output attribute accepts any combination of variables and quoted strings concatenated with the plus (+) sign. For categorical variables, it is possible to dump into the output attribute the code, just write the variable name e.g. COUNTRY = FRA, or the label, by adding a dollar ($) sign before the name e.g. $COUNTRY = France. The output attribute can’t be enumerated and concatenation only works in transcoding operations.
      Command line utility: SMARTcmd - The new distribution includes SMARTcmd, a command line version of SMART intended to be used for batch process automation. SMARTcmd reads a project file (.smart) previously saved from the normal GUI-based version and executes all the calculations/transformations. Besides the project file, it is possible to specify several parameters in the command line which will supersede the value in the project file for this run. For example, the input and output file names can be changed for repeated transformations of the same type of files; or by using the parameter "--append", create a single output file in several runs with different input files of the same type. To use SMARTcmd just store it in any folder by clicking on Tools -> Send SMARTcmd.exe to…
