Hi all,

 

I need to run a program (asreml) thousands of times and each time I have
to provide a slightly different dataset. Because I have to run asreml
under Windows (DOS or scripts) environment, I have trouble to pass a
command variable (or pointer variable or %counter in the following
example) to R program so at each counter R can generate a different data
set for asreml to run. Any suggestion appreciated.

 

@echo off

set /a counter=0

:numbers

 

R CMD BATCH generate.data.R [I don't know how I can pass %counter to
generate.data.R]

asreml asreml.program 

R CMD BATCH collate.results.R

 

print %counter

 

set /a counter=%counter%+1

if %counter% ==15360 (goto :eof) else (echo %counter% >> C:\count.txt) 

goto :numbers

 

 

Regards,

Xianming
