Rules for combining files

There are a number of rules, guidelines, and behaviors for the CLF Combiner.

Here are some highlights:

CLFs can be combined with DLFs or with other CLFs.
The CLFs must be for the same number of simulated years.
Files need to be of same catalog size.
File version needs to match.
File type needs to match (e.g., company loss with company loss, hist with hist).
Can combine files from different models but model versions must match.
Currency must be compatible.
Output folder must be different than originating files folder.
Historical and RDS CLFs must have a corresponding stochastic CLF for the same model in order to be combined.
A Historical CLF does not require a corresponding RDS CLF and vice versa for the same model.
Input CLFs with low area resolution will force the output to be low area resolution (high resolution records are ignored).
If files for a model have different demand surge settings a warning is displayed. If all CLF files for a model being combined include demand surge then the combined file for that model should be stamped as including demand surge, otherwise the output file is stamped a not including demand surge.
Base file name for the resulting combined file must be unique.
Modified and unmodified file sets are kept separate.
