DECODR1508.exe 11Aug2015

Two features - one improved and one added:

Improved - the CSV Respacer module will work properly with the latest 2015 92-column sta.csv format. The additional nutrient datacodes were being excluded from the reformatting routine. This is strictly a visual improvement that allows use of a text editor to view the files easily; columns and values lineup vertically so visual parsing is easier.

Added - ported from the BtlVsCTD program, the column "purge values" routine has been added to DECODR. Using the header to generate the column selection, the user can select a specific column or set of columns to bulk edit or clear. This is designed to purge data that may have imported improperly into the wrong column. As the data processing scheme evolves and new columns are added, the multitude of routines that populate the columns need to be updated. If one isn't, it can import numbers into the wrong column, overwriting the original column occupant. This is rare fortunately, but did happen when derived oxygen in umol/Kg values were imported into the DIC bottle number column. DIC bottle numbers had to be reentered; oxygen in umol/Kg were reprocessed after the correction with the derived data populating the correct column. DIC bottle numbers are from the original CESL sample log.

Note: the BtlVsCTD column clearing routine was updated to work with the latest version of the CTD.csvs as well. It parses the header to generate the column selections.
