NIPS (NMCS Information Processing System) Emulation based on the
IBM(tm) FFS (Formatted File System)
version 3.5.2.0 Dated Oct 01, 2008

Production of simple Relational tables in ASCII of User’s
Data File Records from NIPS System files dumped in image form

This emulator produces one file per table (Fixed Set and Periodic Sets) in ASCII format. Each data value is transformed from EBCDIC, NIPS Coordinate, Binary, Decimal, etc. into ASCII, ASCII encoded latitude-longitude geographic coordinate system, ASCII encoded Decimal values, etc. Each file is a table in fixed field and optionally formatted delimited values. The delimited values use either commas or tabs chosen by the user. The first row of values for each table are the NIPS Mnemonics allowing the importing of the data into spread sheets and databases with the correct column lables.

For more detail about the files produced, changes in the size of the data values, and other valuable information about the processes used, see the User's Reference Manual.

Two additional files are produced during this process. One file shows the analysis and summary of the input data and the other file shows the layout of each table file produced. If a data dictionary is used with the program, the definition of each Mnemonic is printed on the layout report.

Processing started: Fri Oct 26 13:55:01 2018

The option selected for "Output Deliminated tables" is: TRUE

The delimiter selected is: TAB

The NIPS file being processed is: Z:\1_WorkingStorage\RDER\NIPSTRAN project\HES\NIPS HES71 1971\HES71.710612NIPS
