Log Data - Error 10 & 86.

Tue Apr 17 14:17:37 UTC 2012

Hi Bo,

I agree with David that there isn't any way (that I've ever heard of, 
anyway) to turn logging off for just an InLine -- whatever you actually 
type in an InLine just goes directly into the script. 

I can think of three ways you could try to deal with the problem you 
describe, off the top of my head:
1. Turn off logging for particular attributes (columns in your list, done 
in the list view). 
2. Log the data before you turn logging off, by using a c.Log command or 
something.
3. Create your own data file that only has the stuff you want and ignore 
the default E-Prime data file. 

HTH,
Susan
