NEW_EVENT Function (with CREATE command)

This function will generate a new Event with given information. It MUST be used with the CREATE command.

Currently, the following events are supported. PLANTING, IRRIGATION, AUTO_IRRIG, FERTILIZER, TILLAGE, ORGANIC_MATTER, HARVEST, CHEMICALS, MULCH

Inputs:

• DAP = The days after planting date, used for calculating event date
• key (n) = The variable id which is registered in the ICASA Master Variable List
• value (n) = The variable value. It must be paired with key.

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

• PDATE = The planting date (yyyymmdd)

Outputs:

• The generated event with given information

Example1:

CREATE, FERTILIZER, NEW_EVENT(), 14, FEAMN, 40, FECD, FE005, FEACD, AP002, FEDEP, 10

PDATE = “19820312” in the original data set

The new generated event will be,

{"event":"fertilizer", "date":"19820326", "feamn":"40", "fecd":"FE005", "feacd":"AP002", "fedep":"10"}

Example2:

For creating multiple same type events with repeated information, you can create event with only non-repeated variables first, and then use FILL command to fill repeated variable together.

CREATE, FERTILIZER, NEW_EVENT(), 14, FEAMN, 40
CREATE, FERTILIZER, NEW_EVENT(), 45, FEAMN, 60
FILL, FECD, FE005
FILL, FEACD, AP002
FILL, FEDEP, 10

PDATE = “19820312” in the original data set

The new generated event will be,

[
    {"event":"fertilizer", "date":"19820326", "feamn":"40", "fecd":"FE005", "feacd":"AP002", "fedep":"10"},
    {"event":"fertilizer", "date":"19820426", "feamn":"60", "fecd":"FE005", "feacd":"AP002", "fedep":"10"}
]

Example3:

Sample for irrigation event:

CREATE, IRRIGATION, NEW_EVENT(), 25, IRVAL, 70, IROP, IR003

PDATE = “19820312” in the original data set

The new generated event will be,

{"event":"fertilizer", "date":"19820406", "irval":"70", "irop":"IR003"}
