1.1 SYSTEM NAME
TAPMRG
1.2 PRIMARY USER
Early Warning Crop Condition Assessment Project personnel.
1.3 DEVELOPING ORGANIZATION
Lockheed Engineering and Management Services Company, Inc., S. 0. O'Brien.
1.4 COMPUTER FACILITY
The TAPMRG processor runs on a DEC PDP 11/70 computer system under the
IAS operating system. It is implemented in the USDA FAS computer facility
in Houston, Texas.

2. DESCRIPTION
2.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of TAPMRG is to merge or copy data files from one tape to
another. Both input and output tapes are created foreign, non-Files 11 (DEC).
2.1 USAGE
The TAPMRG processor is set up to run as a batch job. The input will be
one or more foreign generated tape files. These files may be added to
another tape or copied to a new tape.
2-1
3. INPUT
3.1 TYPES OF INPUT
3.1.1 TAPE
Any foreign generated tape file with no record exceeding 4000 bytes.
3.1.2 DISK
None
`	 3.1.3 CARDS
The processor requires the following system control and data cards. See
figure 1 for example:
Col 1
$JOB ERLYWARN2 TAPMRG 100
$MOV/FOR MM: TAPEI XX1:
TAPEI = tape to be written on (output)
$MOV/FOR MM: TAPE2 XX2:
TAPE2 - tape files to be read from (input)
$ASSIGN XX1: 1
$ASSIGN XX2: 2
$RUN TAPMRG
N = 2 digit value for the number of files already written on TAPEI
(for the copy procedure this value should be zero and TAPEI should
be a scratch tape).
M = 2 digit value for the number of the first file on TAPE2 that is
to be added to TAPEI (for the copy procedure this value should
be 1) .
L = 2 digit value for the number of files from TAPE2 to be copies to TAPEI
(for the copy procedure this value should be the total number of files
on TAPE2).
