1.1
Purpose
IDFEX2 will extract certain data directly from the IDF and create a tape.
1.2
References
Installations Data File - Magnetic Tape Format, April 1981,
N40404.
1.3 Processing
IDFEX2 will extract data directly from the IDF. The requester must
specify what records are to be retrieved. One or all can be selected. Also,
the user must specify a range of MRN numbers to do the retrieval on. This
extracted data is formatted on the requester's tape and sent to the requester.
IDFEX2 provides the capability for the user to specify what type of data
is to be extracted. 'Ml' and 'KM', 'AIRCRAFT' or both types of data may be
selected by the user. There are eight IDF records that the user can specify -
TGT-HDR, TGT-COLL, TGT-GEN-REF, TGT-STA-DES, TGT-DEF-SEC, TGT-OB, TGT-PHOT,
and TGT-PRFL. These must be specified.
IDFEX2 must be restarted completely; it can be rerun anytime.
The IDFEX2 program is coded in ASCII COBOL and uses DMS for file
processing. IDFEX2 creates a scratch tape which is then sorted twice to
produce tapes in ALPHA and WAC-BE order.
