The IDFEXI program was written to replace the IDF Exchange programs on the
Univac 494 computer. IDFEXI will extract certain data direct from the IDF and
create a tape. The output data format and record types are in the document
Installations Data File - Magnetic Tape Format, April 1981, N40404.
This information is sent to other-users in the Intelligence Community. (Currently
CIA/OSR and DIA/MIA are our only users).
IDFEXI will extract directly from the IDF. The requestor must specify what
records are to be retrieved. One or all can be selected. Also, the user must
specify a range of MRN numbers to do the retrieval on. This extracted data is
formatted on the requestors tape and sent to the requestor.
IDFEXI 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-COLE, TGT-GEN-REF, TGT-STA-DES, TGT-DEF-SEC, TGT-OB, TGT-PHOT, and TGT-PRFL.
These must be specified.
IDFEXI must be restarted completely; it can be rerun at anytime.
The IDFEXI program is coded in ASCII COBOL and uses DMS for file processing.
