DTSUM: Provides a summary of the contents of the dataset

INPUTS

INNAME                             Input UV data (name)
INCLASS                            Input UV data (class)
INSEQ                              Input UV data (seq. #)
INDISK                             Input UV data disk #
APARM                              (1) = 1,2 print run summary
                                       = 2,3 print scan summary
                                   (2) Number of digits/antenna
DOCRT            -3.0     132.0    > 0 -> use the terminal,
                                   else use the line printer
                                   > 72 => terminal width
OUTPRINT                           Printer disk file to save
BADDISK                            Disk #'s to avoid

HELP SECTION

DTSUM
Type:  Task
Use:   Utility task to provide the user with a summary of the
       database. It will only work on multi-source data with
       an NX table attached. The output can be directed to the
       screen, a printer or a disc file.
Adverbs:
  INNAME.....Input UV data file (name).     Standard defaults.
  INCLASS....Input UV data file (class).    Standard defaults.
  INSEQ......Input UV data file (seq. #).   0 => highest.
  INDISK.....Input UV data file disk #.  0 => any.
  APARM......Control array
             APARM(1) = Print level
                =1 or 2 => print a condensed summary for the entire
                           run.
                =2 or 3 => print a condensed summary scan by scan
                           APARM(1) < 1 or > 3 => APARM(1) = 1.
             APARM(2) = number of digits to use in display per
                        baseline.  The actual display will add a blank
                        column between baselines.  Counts will be
                        divided by 10 ** (integer power) and rounded
                        if needed to avoid overflow beyond APARM(2)
                        digits.  APARM(2) < 2 or > 9 => APARM(2) = 4.
  DOCRT......False (<= 0) use the line printer if OUTPRINT = ' '
                   else write named OUTPRINT file only.
                   When OUTPRINT is not blank, DOCRT=-2 suppresses the
                   page-feed character on page headers and DOCRT=-3
                   suppresses page headers and most other header
                   information.
             True  (> 0) use the terminal interactively.  The task will
                   use the actual terminal width as a display limit
                   unless 72 < DOCRT < width.  In that case, the display
                   limit will be DOCRT characters.
  OUTPRINT...Disk file name in which to save the line printer output.
             ' ' => use scratch and print immediately for interactive
             jobs - batch jobs use OUTPRINT = 'PRTFIL:BATCHjjj.nnn'
             (jjj= job #, nnn = user #).  When OUTPRINT is not blank,
             multiple outputs are concatenated, and the file is not
             actually printed.
  BADDISK...Disk #'s to avoid for scratch files
