VERSION Version of task desired. QCREATE -1.0 1.0 > 0 => create large files quickly, else fill with 0's Task name may be inserted as an immediate argument i.e GO TASK or GO 'TASK' ---------------------------------------------------------------- GO Type: Pseudoverb Use: Starts shed tasks and passes parameters to them. Tests adverb values to see if they are in range. Adverbs: TASK.....Requested task name (5 characters or less). DOWAIT...Logical adverb. True (> 0) specifies that AIPS not resume until the requested task has finished. VERSION..Desired version of the task, i.e. 'NEW', 'OLD'. See HELP VERSION for details. QCREATE..> 0 => create files of any significant size by writing zeros only near the end of the file. This means of Unix systems that the disk space is not guaranteed and could vanish before the task has a chance to write to the earlier parts of the file. But is is very fast. =0, -1 => fill the entire file with zeros during the creation process. This guarantees that the disk space is reserved and initialized but can take a long time for files of many Gbytes. Grammar: GO or GO taskname The first starts the task referred to by the adverb TASK. The second starts the task 'taskname'. Examples: TASK='CNTR'; GO Starts the task CNTR GO PRTPL Starts the task PRTPL. Note that the adverb TASK is not set to 'PRTPL' in the second example. ----------------------------------------------------------------
