Program GDETAP Documentation

Abstract

GDETAP is a VAX Fortran program which can read the GDE log tape produced at the National Training Center (NTC), and produce reports and files on the data the tape contains. There are two separate sources of digital data at NTC, the GDE tape, and BACKUP tapes created from files set up using the CIS VAX- 780 computer. Comparing the position/location data from the GDE tapes with the files created from the BACKUP tapes will be useful for several reasons: validation of te NTC research database system; access to data not available currently; and the possibility of combining data sources to clean data. In order to access data on the log tapes, it was necessary to develop a VAX program to read them. This has been done, and documentation of the tape-reading program GDETAP is the subject of this report.
