We need to run about 13000 CERES-Maize runs for a project. A
VB interface was written to generate an IBSNAT35.INP file from
the Access file and then running then a pif file (using the shell
command) with the following command line "GECER980.EXE
IBSNAT35.INP I S 1". The problem is that VB program sending out
the next INP file or reading the Summary.out before CERES-Maize
have completed the run. We were able to slow down the VB
program by including a loop counter. At this stage it take up to 7
hours to complete all the runs (1.9 seconds per run).
Any suggestions how we could tell the VB program that CERES-
Maize is still busy.
Regards
Andre
