DOSCALE
Type:   Adverb  (logical,  > 0  =>  true)
Use:    Tells a task to perform some operation involved with scaling
        the data.
Null value:  false (-1).
Tasks:
   BLCHN.........Compute closure offset corrections on a channel-by-
                 channel basis.  DOSCALE controls the application of
                 spectral index parameters.
   BPASS.........Computes spectral bandpass correction table.  DOSCALE
                 controls the application of spectral index parameters.
   CLIP..........Edits data based on amplitudes, phases, and weights out
                 of range.  DOSCALE specifies that the data be
                 normalized by the fluxes (and spectral index) to be
                 found in the source table.
   CPASS.........Computes polynomial spectral bandpass correction table.
                 DOSCALE controls the application of spectral index
                 parameters.
   PCAL..........Determines instrumental polarization for UV data.
                 DOSCALE controls the application of spectral index
                 parameters.
   RFLAG.........Flags data set based on time and freq rms in fringe
                 visibilities.  DOSCALE specifies the determination of
                 separate baseline/IF amplitude gains to be applied to
                 the data prior to plotting and flagging.
   SYPRT.........Prints values from the SY table.  DOSCALE > 0 tells
                 the task to scale each antenna separately.
   TYSMO.........Smooths and filters a calibration TY or SY table.
                 DOSCALE controls the normalization of the smoothed
                 table values (> 0 -> normalize).
   UVFND.........Prints selected data from UV data set to search for
                 problems,  DOSCALE controls whether fluxes are
                 scaled by SU table values and spectral index before
                 comparison to "clip" levels.
   UVPLT.........Plots data from a UV data base in multiple ways.
                 DOSCALE contrtols whether visibilities are scaled
                 by SU table fluxes and spectral index before plotting.
