TUGET: Verb-like gets adverbs from last GO of a user's task
INPUTS
USERID 1.0 Desired user number
INDISK 0.0 USERID's disk 1; 0 -> 1
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 TGET 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
TUGET
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 interactive AIPS. Batch AIPS programs
use their own task parameter files. TUGET is the special verb
which allows the user to recover the adverb values from the
most recent execution of a task by another user. The format is:
USERID = xxxx
TUGET name
where is the task name (min match applies, but to all
tasks and verbs, not just those in the TGET file). If
is omitted, the current contents of the adverb TASK are used.
Adverbs:
USERID.......The user number under which the desired adverbs were
stored. 0 -> current user number
INDISK.......The disk number of USERID's disk 1. If USERID's disk 1
is not normally one of yours, you must add it to one of
the .dadevs files (e.g. $HOME/.dadevs.always) so that
you may access it.
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, GO, and ABORT operations for
that task.
VERSION......The version of the Inputs file used to decipher the
stored parameters. Should be the same as that used
when storing. A warning is issued if it is not.
See HELP VERSION for details.
