A warning dialog opens to confirm you wish to proceed before making any changes. Note: By performing
this operation, the input file gets modified. Consequently, the analysis
results are no longer compatible with the modified structure. Therefore, the
Analytical Modeling workflow is
automatically selected so the structure can be re-analyzed. Before doing so, it
is advisable to go back and replace the
SELECT and
GROUP ing commands with
CHECK CODE commands.
