WRITE DATAPOOL TEXT FILE

Syntax:

[DO NOT] WRITE DATAPOOL TEXT FILE: <filename>

Function:

Please see the command DATAPOOL LISTING FILE for a description of the Gould-SEL (ENCORE) DATAPOOL.

The Software Validation Ltd. DATAPOOL toolkit uses a DATAPOOL database written as an ASCII text file to maintain the DATAPOOL constructs in the user's program. This command generates the database file from information held in the Gould-SEL (ENCORE) DATAPOOL listing file. The file has the default file name extension .dpt.

Where to use this command:

Operating system command line	Yes
Configuration file, config.fsp	Yes
Specification (FSP) files, *.fsp	Yes
Interactively, to FPT> prompt:	No
Interactive command files	No
Embedded in the Fortran code	Yes

Example:

The program hovers2.f is processed with the command:

$ fpt hovers2.f /datapool_listing_file:dpool.lis write_datapool_text_file:hover2.dpt

The datapool listing file, dpool.lis, contains the fragment:

LOG     X        EQU X:QDO   +X'00028' EW001 X Pos, World, ft
LOG     Y        EQU X:QDO   +X'0002C' EW001 Y Pos, World, ft
LOG     H        EQU X:QDO   +X'00030' EW001 Height absol ft
LOG     HRAD     EQU X:QDO   +X'00034' EW001 Height radar ft
LOG     HBAR     EQU X:QDO   +X'00038' EW001 Height barom ft
LOG     THETA    EQU X:QDO   +X'0003C' EW001 Degrees
LOG     PHI      EQU X:QDO   +X'00040' EW001 Degrees
LOG     PSI      EQU X:QD0   +X'00044' EW001 Degrees +- 180
LOG     P        EQU X:QDO   +X'00048' EW001 Degrees/sec
LOG     Q        EQU X:QDO   +X'0004C' EW001 Degrees/sec
LOG     R        EQU X:QDO   +X'00050' EW001 Degrees/sec
LOG     LAT      EQU X:QDO   +X'00058' ED001 Latitude, degrees
LOG     LONG     EQU X:QDO   +X'00060' ED001 Longitde, degrees

This generates the DATAPOOL text file fragment:
