Help for APPEND
PURPOSE:
APPEND accepts up to ten data sets and writes them out, one after
another, as a single data set. All 3-D organizations are handled
in the logically correct manner.
EXECUTION:
Example
APPEND INP=(A,B,C) OUT=D will write A, B, and C out to D.
Size and parameter fields are not used.
Note: APPEND outputs the total number of lines and samples written;
if input images are of varying data types, the "number of samples written"
will be the number of samples of the smallest data type. If real input
is mixed with integer, the data type of the output will be integer.
OPERATION:
After opening all the inputs, APPEND computes the size of the output
data set. Each input is then copied into the output data set, in the
same order as specified in the command. If the inputs are of varying
sample length, the output lines are padded with zeroes on the end.
All output lines are of the same length, the length of the longest
input line.
Currently BYTE, HALF, FULL, and REAL formats are supported.
