udmpkf

A utility to put information read from standard input into a KF file.

udmpkf file

udmpkf reads an ASCII file in the format created by dmpkf from standard input and creates the KF file file from this data if it does not already exist, otherwise it adds the sections and/or variables in the input file to the existing kf file. If sections or variables on the input file already exist in the target file, that data on the target file is overwritten. Other data on the target file are not affected.

The combination of dmpkf and udmpkf makes it easy to modify KF files with a normal text editor:

dmpkf TAPE21 > t21_ASCII

If necessary, edit and modify t21_ASCII, and then

udmpkf < t21_ASCII TAPE21_new

Note carefully that dmpkf and udmpkf do NOT have two arguments, but only one each. The ASCII 'argument' is standard input, respectively output, which you may of course redirect to a file.
