Dataset covering Dataset Names

If you want to give the program a dataset which itself covers dataset information with one dataset item per line or one combination of dataset and directory information covered in "<",">" brackets per line to choose all matching datasets within a directory tree beginning with the given directory identifying datasets to process in the actual program task, you can enter an existing dataset and its path information into the input field by clicking on the “folder” symbol on the left side. After you have chosen a dataset and have clicked on the “Open” button of the dataset choose dialogue, the name of the dataset including path information is available in the input field and there you can still edit the name as you like.

The default extension with such datasets covering dataset names is “dtn”.

If you have prepared a dataset with dataset information of that datasets which shall be processed in the actual run, please pay attention to the fact that datasets addressed by many items shall be coded repeatedly ! If you don’t want to process these datasets in single mode, you can ignore this fact. But in any case the processing time will be increased.

Choosing a dataset covering dataset names, you can edit the contents of this dataset by selecting the “open dataset” button below the input field. Doing this, the dataset contents is read into an internal list and you get the items mentioning one or more datasets repeatedly. You can exclude these entries individually. Further you have the possibility e.g. using the dataset choosing dialogue (clicking on the “folder” symbol ) to enter single datasets to the dataset name field for that used as an editing field and modify it, before you can put it on the list of datasets (“insert” button). To insert an entry, it is put in place above the marked item. Selecting the “delete” button, you can remove a marked item and put it into the editing field. Possibly you can change it here and put it on the list again using the “insert” button. Every step putting an item on the list leads the program to check all list entries for overlapping the entry being inserted. To close work and pass the dataset list to the dataset opened, you have to select “save namelist to dataset” button followed by the “close dataset” button. If you would reject the dataset list, you can negate the question about saving the list after selecting the “close” button.
