SUPPORT
As it has been already mentioned, when the FILL statement is executed by
the AgSTAR interface, the data are saved as a bank in the DETM structure
[]. At the same time the AgSTAR interface creates the appropriate
documentation banks for DZDOC package [2].
For each bank in the DETM structure the documentation banks contain the
creation date, authorship information, the variable names and comments
as well as the full information on the bank relationship.
All this information is maintained in a RZ-file detm.rz which can be
analysed by the DZDOC package. Running its interactive version DZEDIT,
users can get the full information on the created banks as well as to print
a hardcopy of the current STAR input data structure description. As the
documentation RZ-file is updated automatically each time the program has
been changed, this description is always up-todate.
In a future it will become possible to get with the USE operator not
only versions of banks, defined directly in the module, but also to read
them from the STAR geometry data base, supported centrally.
