Suppose locations file

File type category:
Document file

Date updated: August 1, 2017

The loc extension file is known as location file which is usually named as "suppose.loc". It contains two kinds of records. Record type A is required, record type B is optional. There is one type A record for each location. Each location refers to a list of stands and/or inventory plots. Each stand is further defined via entries in a different file, the stand list file (.slf extension). The name of the stand list file is one of the entries on the type A records in the suppose.loc file.

The second type of record in the suppose.loc file, called type B, is used to specify group codes and addfiles applicable to all the stands at all the locations. Addfiles identified on type B records are automatically included in the simulation file for each stand that is identified as being a member of the group. Group membership is defined on type C records of the stand list file.

The locations file is coded free form. It can be edited using the Edit Locations File window accessible via the options menu on the main Suppose selections window. It can also be edited outside of Suppose with a text editor.
