Exposure Sheets

In AL, the values (definitions) of avars are generally separated from their declaration in the model. The definitions for all avars are stored in an "exposure sheet" in memory. The exposure sheet can be saved to a file or loaded from a pre-existing file. By convention, the extension ".xs" is usually used to denote exposure sheet files.

(load-avars filename)

Binds the avars in the current model to the values stored in the exposure sheet file specified by filename. Avars which exist in the exposure sheet file which do not exist in the current model are ignored.

(save-avars filename)

Saves the exposure sheet currently in memory to the file specified by filename.
