Title and Comment

TITLE Title

Title may be any string. The program combines it (that is, the first approximately 50 characters) with date and time of the job to construct the job identification. The job identification is used to stamp an identification on result files, which will be read and printed if such a file is used again, for instance as a fragment file.

The job identification will also be echoed in the output header to identify the current run. By default the date and time are combined with a dummy string. In Create mode the title is first read from the data file that supplies the basis functions etc and can then be overwritten via input.

Note that, contrary to some other programs, adf does not take the first input record as a title. Typing your title as the first record, without starting the record with the keyword title, may produce very strange results: ADF will try to interpret the first word on that line as a keyword, possibly abbreviated!

You can put more remarks in the input file to be echoed in the standard output file; these will not become part of the job identification:

COMMENT
  text
  ...
end

The text records are copied to the output header, directly after the job identification. Expressions are not parsed and constants or functions are not replaced: it is a straightforward copy.

The key COMMENT may occur any number of times; all text blocks are printed in the output header with a blank line between any two text blocks.
