Macro import of .dat file onto a Grid Phase surface

I have a macro that converts .tif files to .dat files via the CONVERTIMAGETOGRID keyword and that all works like a charm and it creates wagonloads of .dat files.  

What I’d like to do next is import those files into a prescription with an established Grid Phase surface via the same macro . . . but I don’t see a ZPL way to do that?

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi again,

Try the IMPORTEXTRADATA keyword. OpticStudio removed the Extra Data Editor from the UI as the editors became flexible enough to not need it, but it lives on in the ZPL structure.
