AUTO_REPLICATE_EVENTS Function

This function will clone the original management events for each year in the experiment duration. Only the date of each event will be increased year by year to simulate multiple years. If the experiment duration only 1 year, no generation will be done.

If this function is used in conjunction with with AUTO_PDATE(), then the generated event dates are based on the generated planting dates and the original days after planting.

Implicit Inputs (i.e., available in the data)

• EXP_DUR - number of years of simulation
• SC_YEAR - Simulation start year
• Management events

Outputs:

• New events with corresponding dates for each year

Example 1:

!, AUTO_REPLICTE_EVENTS() only

&, REPLACE, EXP_DUR, 3
&, REPLACE, SC_YEAR, 1981
&, REPLACE, PDATE, AUTO_REPLICATE_EVENTS()

Original events:

[
    {"event":"planting", "date":"19820226", "crid":"MAZ"},
    {"event":"irrigation", "date":"19820304", "irop":"IR001", "irval":"13"}
]

Output events:

[
    [
        {"event":"planting", "date":"19810226", "crid":"MAZ"}, 
        {"event":"irrigation", "date":"19820304", "irop":"IR001", "irval":"13"}
    ],
    [
        {"event":"planting", "date":"19820226", "crid":"MAZ"}, 
        {"event":"irrigation", "date":"19830304", "irop":"IR001", "irval":"13"}
    ],
    [
        {"event":"planting", "date":"19830226", "crid":"MAZ"}, 
        {"event":"irrigation", "date":"19840304", "irop":"IR001", "irval":"13"}
    ]
]

Example 2:

!, AUTO_PDATE() and AUTO_REPLICTE_EVENTS() together

&, REPLACE, EXP_DUR, 3
&, REPLACE, SC_YEAR, 1982
&, REPLACE, PDATE, AUTO_PDATE(),0501,0701,25,5
&, REPLACE, PDATE, AUTO_REPLICATE_EVENTS()

Original events:

[
    {"event":"planting", "date":"19820226", "crid":"MAZ"}, 
    {"event":"irrigation", "date":"19820304", "irop":"IR001", "irval":"13"}
]

Output events:

[
    [
        {"event":"planting", "date":"19820515", "crid":"MAZ"}, 
        {"event":"irrigation", "date":"19820521", "irop":"IR001", "irval":"13"}
    ],
    [
        {"event":"planting", "date":"19830606", "crid":"MAZ"}, 
        {"event":"irrigation", "date":"19830612", "irop":"IR001", "irval":"13"}
    ],
    [
        {"event":"planting", "date":"19840526", "crid":"MAZ"}, 
        {"event":"irrigation", "date":"19840601", "irop":"IR001", "irval":"13"}
    ]
]
