ProgTaJfl * IDFFEX
Date '12 June 1981
The IDFEX program was written to replace the IDF Exchange programs on the
Univac 494 computer. This program will extract all the updated data (transactions)
to the IDF, sort the data, eliminate all the duplications, and create a tape. The
output data format and record types are in the document Installations Data File
Magnetic Tape Format, April 198 This information is sent 25X1
? to other users in the Intelligence Community. (Currently CIA/OSR and DIA/MIA are
our only users).
There is a file called XAU*IDFHIS-FILE which cgntains a copy of all the com-
pacted TIF records. The TIF-Compaction program, which is run five times a day
prior to INTERMAIN, has code in it to transfer the compacted TIF records to the
XAU*IDFHIS-FILE. The XAU*IDFHIS-FILE is sized to hold 20,000 records. The code
in the TIF-Compaction checks to see how full the file is and begins putting out.a
message as to when to run the IDFHIS/IDFEX program. When the IDFHIS/IDFEX program
is run, the XAU*IDFHIS-FILE is sorted on MRN, RECORD-TYPE and DATABASE KEY and all
duplicate entries are deleted. The data is then written to tape. This tape is
copied on the requestor tape and sent to the requestor.
IDFEX provides the capability for the user to specify what type of data is
to be extracted. 'MI' and 'KH', 'Aircraft' or both types of data may be selected
by the user. There are eight IDF records that the user can specify: TGT-HDR,.
TGT-COLL, TGT-GEN-REF, TGT-STA-DES, TGT-DEF-SEC, TGT-OB, TGT-PHOT, and TGT-PRFL.
These must be specified.
This program can be restarted. Once it has successfully terminated, pointers
in the XAU*IDFHIS-FILE are reset to the beginning of the file.
The IDFEX program is coded in ASCII COBOL and uses DMS for file processing.
