SINUMBER= number of simulated data files = 1

More than one simulated data file SIFILE= can be generated.

SINUMBER = 1        produce one simulated data file

SINUMBER > 1        produce more than one simulated data file.

For the first simulated data file, its name is given by SIFILE= (or a temporary file) and the random number seed is given by SISEED=.

For the second and subsequent simulated data files when SINUMBER>1, then the data file name increments from SIFILE= and the seed number increments from SISEED, unless the seed is based on the system clock.

Example.        Produce 3 simulated files with seed starting at 101.

       SIFILE = mysimulation.txt

       SINUMBER = 3

       SISEED = 101

The three output files will be:

       mysimulation.txt with seed 101

       mysimulation2.txt with seed 102

       mysimulation3.txt with seed 103
