HELP SECTION

PRTAB
Type:  Task
Use:   PRTAB prints on the line printer or terminal the rows of any
       extension file having a tables format.
Adverbs:
  INNAME.....Image name (name).           Standard defaults.
  INCLASS....Image name (class).          Standard defaults.
  INSEQ......Image name (seq. #).         0 => highest.
  INDISK.....Disk drive # of image.       0 => any.
  INEXT......Extension file type          ' ' => 'TA'
  INVERS.....Extension file version #     0 => highest.
  BPRINT.....First row to list.           0 => 1.
  EPRINT.....Last row to list.      < BPRINT => to end.
  XINC.......Increment in row number between listings.
             <= 0 => 1.
  NDIG.......If NDIG <= 3, the formats 1PE10.3 and 1PD13.6 are used
             for single and double precision floats.  To see more
             digits, NDIG > 3 causes 1PE13.6 and 1PD17.10 to be used.
             The added digits may be significant in some tables.
  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.
  DOHMS......If DOHMS is false (<=0), the times in the output will
             be printed in days.  If DOHMS > 0, they will be
             printed in the form hh:mm:ss.s.  This is done for any
             column having units of DAYS and a header which starts with
             TIME.
By default, PRTAB prints all elements in a cell of a table, one element
per line.  The next three adverbs may be used to print elements 1-n1 and
n2-n3 only.
  NCOUNT.....Elements 1 through NCOUNT are printed for each selected
             cell in the table.   0 => 100000.
  BDROP......Additionally, elements BDROP through EDROP are also
             printed.  0 => 1.
  EDROP......Additionally, elements BDROP through EDROP are also
             printed.  < BDROP => 100000.
  BOX........To select the column numbers to be printed including their
             order.  Up to 40 may be selected.  0 => all columns in
             basic order.
  DOFLAG.....> 0 => list flagged rows (with an * in 1st col) as well
                    as unflagged rows
             <= 0 => skip over flagged rows, listing only good ones.
