Examples of common import/create calls are provided below.

It is convenient to set up one or more import directory paths up front. For example:

<code>
string $importDir= $home + "/V1/primaryData"
</code>
===== csv file =====

This is an example of importing into a very simple mask variable, //zoneMask[z]//, indexed by a single pre-defined informant, //zone//. Here is the top of the source data file //zonesMask.csv//:

<file>
"zone","maskValue"
201,1
202,1
211,0
212,1
213,0
214,1
.
.
.
</file>

And here is the code:

<code>
zoneMask[z] = import (; dataFormat=coordinate, fileFormat=text, \
	allCoord=on, delimiter=",", firstLine=2, \
	file=$importDir/zonesMask.csv)
</code>

Note: 
  * the use of the //firstLine=2// parameter to skip over the header row
  * no element name modification is required

Alternatively one may use the heading parameter to skip over the first line:

<code>
zoneMask[z] = import (; dataFormat=coordinate, fileFormat=text, \
    allCoord=on, delimiter=",", heading=on, \
    file=$importDir/zonesMask.csv)
</code>
