Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

There are different ways to do the same thing. Your commands will work ok, except that you have not correctly constructed the legal ranges. They are as follows:

The haz must be between -6 and +6
The waz must be between -6 and +5
The whz must be between -5 and +5.

In the label for wasting, you have a typo (an "e" in place of "a").

Good luck with your research!
