Concatenates up to one hundred IBIS tabular files to produce a new IBIS tabular file
Concatenates up to one hundred image based information systems (IBIS) tabular files to produce a new IBIS tabular file. The files are combined by placing each input file after the previous file. Therefore, the number of columns in each input file must be the same.
- INFILE
- Input files. The input IBIS tabular files.
- OUTFILE
- Output file. The output IBIS tabular file created by concatenating the specified input tabular files. The number of columns in OUTFILE is the same as in the input files. The number of rows in OUTFILE is determined by adding together the number of rows in each input file.
The input files A, B, and C are concatenated to produce the output IBIS tabular file CONCAT.
The program begins with the standard initialization and retrieval of user-specified parameters. The input and output IBIS tabular files are opened. Corresponding columns from the input tabular files are transferred to the same column of the output tabular file in such a manner that the first entry from each tabular file directly follows the last entry from the previous tabular file.
An error was encountered closing <XXXXX> file. The data may still be valid.
A fatal error was encountered during processing. The output IBIS tabular file may or may not be valid. The message that is displayed immediately preceding this message is the specific error that was encountered.
The input files do not have the same number of columns. The specified input file was the first one found that differs.
An error was encountered while trying to open the specified IBIS tabular file.
An error was encountered while trying to read from the specified input IBIS tabular file.
The maximum number of rows allowed in an IBIS tabular file would be exceeded if the input files were concatenated.
An error was encountered while trying to write to the output IBIS tabular file.
