Hi, I have yet another question. I am writing a CL script, and I want to
do some calculations like this:F=.87*10(to the)[.45*(DOY-150)/250]and I just cant figure out how to do it. I thought of using E, and make itF=.87E[.45*(DOY-150)/250], but it doesnt like the parenthesis.In fact, is there any way to have an expression like
F=.87E(2.2) ?Since this is base 10, maybe there is a log function? But what if the base
is not ten?I have asked around here, and no one seems to know. I have run out of ideas!Thank you for your help. -Martina Arndt

Martina,> ... some calculations like this:

> F=.87*10(to the)[.45*(DOY-150)/250]This will work: cl> x = .87*10**(.45*(doy-150)/250)assuming that the variable doy has been declared as something previously.
I am not sure whether you are unsure about what the exponentiation operator
is in the CL, or whether you are actually constructing expressions using
those square brackets, which will cause a syntax error. You should use
nested "regular" parentheses.Hope this helps,Chris Biemesderfer
