Top Command Line
Writing output to a separate folder
!OUTFOLDER [ path]
allows most of the output files
to be written to a folder other than the working folder. This qualifier
must be placed on the top command line as it needs to be processed before any output files are opened.
Most files produced by ASReml have a filename structure
<basename><subname>.<extension>
where <subname> is a command line argument value.
If !OUTFOLDER is specified without path, the output filename pattern
becomes
<basename><subname>/<basename>.<extension>.
If path is specified, the output filename pattern becomes
<path>/<basename><subname>.<extension>.
There are a few files written by ASReml which do not follow this naming pattern,
for example ainverse.bin, asrdata.bin. These remain unchanged i.e.
are not written to the output folder.
