Discover a versatile FORTRAN program designed to search, annotate, encode-decode, and reformat data files with ease.
COMBO is a general-purpose tool described for handling varied data file formats. It reads separate card images from magnetically stored files, recognizes up to 99 line types by a fixed-field code, and supports complex searching and reformatting tasks. The program can rearrange data pieces, insert labels or comments, and perform substitutions to edit content. It uses modular subroutines for flexible, machine-independent operation, making it suitable for a range of data management needs.
- Easy searching with multiple line-type support and boolean logic
- Flexible editing and reformatting to suit different data layouts
- Substitution and reporting features for efficient data handling
- Assembled from reusable, modular components for broad applicability
Ideal for readers working with data files who want a practical, adaptable tool for retrieval, transformation, and presentation of information.
