NAME

     rept - duplicate record(s) or portions of records

SYNOPSIS

     rept [ -Nntap ] [ -Ootap ] [ -nsnst ] [ -nened ] [ -rsnrst ]
     [ -nrnrep ] [ -V ] [ -? ]

DESCRIPTION

     rept selects a particular record(s) from an input  data  set
     and duplicates it a specified number of times.  This is very
     useful for creating panels of identical records for  use  in
     multi-valued  velocity  stacks,  for example.  This can be a
     powerful velocity analysis tool.

     Rept gets both its data and its parameters from command line
     arguments.   These  arguments specify the input, output, the
     start and end times, the record number desired,  the  number
     of repetitions, and verbose 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 output file is not required when
          piping the output to another process.  The output  data
          set also requires the full path name (see above).

     -ns nst
          Enter start trace number to be  repeated.   Default  is
          first trace.

     -ne ned
          Enter end trace to be repeated.  Default is last trace.

     -rs nrst
          Enter record  number  desired.   Default  value  is  to
          repeat  all  input  records  as  they are read from the
          given start trace to the end trace.

     -nr nrep
          Enter number of repetitions.  Default value is one.

     -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.
