NAME

     insert  - replace portions of output data set with input

SYNOPSIS

     insert [ -Nntap ] [ -Ootap ] [ -rsnrst ] [ -renred ] [  -V ]
     [ -? ]

DESCRIPTION

     insert selects a range of records of an output disk data set
     and  replaces  these  with  an input data set. The number of
     traces per record and the number of samples per  trace  must
     be  the same for both input and output data sets. Like apend
     the input may be a pipe but the output data set  must  be  a
     disk file.

     There must be at least as many output records as  there  are
     input records.

     insert gets both its data and its  parameters  from  command
     line  arguments.  These arguments specify the input, output,
     the start and end records of the output data set,  and  ver-
     bose printout, if desired.

  Command line arguments
     -N ntap
          Enter the input data set name or file immediately after
          typing -N.  This input file should include the complete
          path name if the file resides in a different directory.
          Example  -N/b/vsp/dummy  tells  the program to look for
          file 'dummy' in directory 'vsp' stored on the 'b' disk.

     -O otap
          Enter the output data  set  name  or  file  immediately
          after typing -O.  This cannot be a pipe.

     -rs nrst
          Enter  start  sequential  record  number  to   replace.
          Default value is the first record.

     -re nred
          Enter end record number to replace.  Default  value  is
          last record but this means that the output records will
          be replaced with the entire input data set.

     -V   Enter the command line argument '-V' to get  additional
          printout.

     -?   Enter the command line  argument  '-?'  to  get  online
          help.   The program terminates after the help screen is
          printed.
