      First the residuals must be stored to a file. There are two ways to do this: 1) Using Scheme as described in KM 2039885 2) Using a transcript For the second option, use ‘File->Write->’Start Transcript’, then run the case, then ‘File->Write->Stop Transcript’. This will create a standard text file of the TUI output, you can delete all lines but the residual printing, then read this into excel or another tool and compute the statistics there.
