AIPS HELP file for TPUT in 31DEC24

TPUT: Verb-like puts adverbs from a task in file for TGETs
INPUTS
TASK Task name
Version of task & INPUTS file
VERSION
Task name may be inserted as an immediate argument
i.e TGET task or TGET 'task'. The adverb is then
ignored. The adverb TASK is set by TPUT to the full
task name on output. This eliminates the need to
type the task name on subsequent INP, INPUTS, and GO
operations so long as you want this particular task.
HELP SECTION
TPUT
Type: Pseudoverb (but acts almost like a normal verb)
Use: Each time a task is caused to execute (via the verb GO),
the adverb values sent to the task are saved in a special
Task parameter file. Only one set of values is stored
for any given task, but an unlimited number of tasks may
have their values stored. The file belongs to the user
(by login number) and may be used with any of the inter-
active AIPS. Batch AIPS programs use their own task
parameter files. TPUT is the verb which allows the user
to put a task's adverb values into the file replacing
those of the most recent execution of the task. The
format is:
TPUT name
where is the task name (min match applies, but to
all all tasks and verbs, not just those in the TGET
file). If is omitted, the current contents of
the adverb TASK are used. The verb TGINDEX may be used
to list those tasks for which parameters have been saved
and when they were saved.
Adverbs:
TASK.........Desired task name. Used only if no immediate
argument is given. The full Task name is
inserted in TASK on output, whether or not an
immediate argument was used. This allows one
to avoid retyping the task name on subsequent
INP, INPUTS and GO operations for that task.
VERSION......The version of the INPUTS file to be used in
setting the parameters into the parameter
save area. See HELP VERSION for details.
