INPUTP (General Purpose Input Processor) User Guide.

Abstract

The General Purpose Input Processor (INPUTP) program is a very flexible, entirely data-driven utility that may be used as an input preprocessor to any FORTRAN program. The INPUTP program reads two external files to define the names and default values for all user input. Then through input, the user may override the default values for any input parameters. The input processor generates two FORTRAN block data routines containing DATA statements to define the input parameters. These routines must be compiled and loaded to initialize all input variables. All data is read by the input processor in a free-form format, which simplifies the creation and maintenance of the data files and greatly reduces the chances for user input errors. The INPUTP program is coded in the SIMSCRIPT II.5 language, and is operational on the Control Data Corporation (CDC) 6700 computer system under the SCOPE 3.4 operating system. (Author)
