Macro Description

Compatible Products: Studio EM, Studio RM, Studio OP, Studio UG

This macro injects attributes into a specified drillholes file based on wireframes. Drillholes are enhanced with ZONECODE
information associated with one or more wireframe files as defined in an external .csv file.

For this example, the external CSV file contains the following fields: TYPE (A8), WIREFRAM (A24), ZONECODE (N),
PRIORITY (N), TOPCUT (N) and GROUP (N), although this example can be easily modified to suit any file structure/layout.
For example:

WF,_vb_min,1,2,3,4

STR,_vb_str1,,,,

WF,_vb_min2,2,2,3,4

Note that the wireframe specification in the CSV file does not include either the 'tr' or 'pt' suffix.

The macro creates a DM file copy of the CSV file using INPFIL, then pics out any record with a TYPE of "WF". It then sets
up some substitution variables using FIELD before calling SELTRI to determine which sample records sit inside/outside the
wireframe volume and adding the ZONECODE field and corresponding waste (99) or zone code to the output samples file.

Inputs and outputs are defined at the top of the file e.g.:

!LET $IN# = _vb_holes

!LET $OUT# = DH_CODED

Set up the required fields in the macro to match those of the CSV file (in this case "MODPAR.csv" to be consumed, e.g.:

!INPFIL &OUT(XXCONT)

MODEL CONTROL FILE

TYPE A 8 Y ''

WIREFRAM A 24 Y ''

ZONECODE N Y -

PRIORITY N Y -

TOPCUT N Y -

GROUP N Y -

MODPAR.csv

The macro does the rest. Drillhole records lying outside the wireframe will be coded with ZONECODE=99, otherwise, the
relevant ZONECODE will be applied to the output samples file.
