    It looks I've found it using "maeGetAnalysis(test "tran" ?includeEmpty t)"

    No. My bad. It doesn't wotk, at least how I did it:

    analysisOpts = maeGetAnalysis(test "tran" ?includeEmpty t)
    newAnalysisOpts = list()
    foreach( ao analysisOpts
      if( eqv("infotimes" car(ao))
      then
        newAnalysisOpts = append1(newAnalysisOpts list("infotimes" infoTimes))
      else
      newAnalysisOpts = append1(newAnalysisOpts ao)
      )
    )
    maeSetAnalysis(test "tran" ?options newAnalysisOpts)

    I've found it.

    infoTimes should be list of strings.

    Dragan,

    There is absolutely no need to do all that messing around getting all the current settings and then replacing the current value with the new and then re-applying the entire set. It's much simpler than that - simply do:

    maeSetAnalysis("mylib:myinvtb:1" "tran" ?options list(list("stop" "50n")))
    maeSetAnalysis("mylib:myinvtb:1" "tran" ?options list(list("infotimes" list("20n" "30n" "40n"))))

    Each will add or update the current settings, so there's no problem with calling maeSetAnalysis multiple times with a subset of options.

    If you're unsure as to what is expected, the easiest way is to enter it in the UI and then use maeGetAnalysis() to see what the value and parameter name was.

    Regards,

    Andrew
