Synopsis

This book introduces a package of five related computer programs which transform, translate, and transcribe alphanumeric data between various formats. This comprehensive guide was written with the goal of assisting data centers affiliated with the National Standard Reference Data System. All five computer programs are described in-depth, each performing a distinct set of tasks. The programs have been coded in FORTRAN for system and machine independence. The author provides information on the characteristics of each program, as well as detailed instructions on their use. These programs prove useful in processes such as converting data from single precision to double precision format and replacing strings of characters with other strings, expanding the capabilities of text preparation and editing. The guide also features a listing of the programs' control cards for quick reference.
