TCODE
Type: Adverb (String*4)
Use: An Adverb which controls type of Y2K test executed when running
Y2KEXEC after a Y2KLOAD. Four possible values are INIT, TEST,
READ, or WRIT.
INIT = starts from the original master UV dataset, and
(re)computes master files (does ALLDEST).
The "mask" TMASK controls which steps execute.
An output tape is required: each result must go to
tape and be restored to disk before the next step.
TEST = re-does the INIT computation but stores the new
files under different names and compares against
masters. The "mask" TMASK controls which steps
execute. TEST steps use either the TEST run output
of the previous step (TMODE=T) or the INIT run
output (TMODE=M). On TMODE=T, an output tape is
required: each result must go to tape and be
restored to disk before the next step.
WRIT = write out all master files to tape.
READ = read in all master files from tape.
Procedures:
Y2K...........Verifies correctness and performance using standard
problems.
Y2KSAVE.......Verifies correctness and performance using standard
problems.
