IN2VERS 2nd input table version BADDISK Disks to avoid for scratch ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAPPE Type: Task Use: TAPPE copies a table version from the input catalog file and another version (of the same type) from the output catalog file into a third version attached to the output catalog file. It then sorts the appended file and discards any rows that are identical. The second and third version numbers may be the same. Note that the sort plus test for identical may not be able to prevent some identical rows from appearing. The sort is based on only two columns leading to potential situations in which identical rows do not become adjacent after the sort. Normally, this is unimportant and it should not arise in SN and CL tables where it might matter. Note, however, if you append two SN tables that have differnt solutions for the same time and antenna, both solutions will remain in the output table. Unless you smooth such an SN table before applying it to a CL table (SNSMO and CLCAL offer this option), the two-point interpolation will be compromised. Adverbs: INNAME......Main file name (name). Standard defaults. INCLASS.....Main file name (class). Standard defaults. INSEQ.......Main file name (seq. #) 0 => highest. INDISK......Disk drive # of image. 0 => any. INEXT.......Input extension file type ' ' => 'TA' INVERS......Input extension file version # from INNAME 0 => highest OUTNAME.....Output file name (name). ' ' => INNAME OUTCLASS....Output file name (class). ' ' => INCLASS OUTSEQ......Output file name (seq. #). 0 => INSEQ OUTDISK.....Disk drive # of output file. 0 => INDISK where the actual values of INNAME, INCLASS, INSEQ, and INDISK are used after defaults, wild-cards, etc are satisfied. IN2VERS.....Second input extension file version # from IN2NAME 0 => highest BADDISK.....Disk drive numbers to avoid for scratch files. ----------------------------------------------------------------
