addhist - Adds text annotations to a dataset's history.

SYNOPSIS

addhist  [ parameter=value ... ]  [ inputfile ... ]

Parameters are histfile.

DESCRIPTION

For each input dataset, addhist adds a text message to the dataset's history (or "audit trail"). This provides the capability to add annotations to a dataset. The text message can come from the standard input or from a text file. The datasets history can be viewed with the audit command. audit performs its own text formatting and thus the output format of text annotations are not necessarily the same as the input format. A line break can be forced in the output of audit by entering an empty line in the input.

PARAMETERS

histfile

Name of file that contains the text message to add to the history of each of the input datasets. The default is to read the message from standard input.

EXAMPLES

Add text annotations to Baja.Cal dataset's history.

% addhist
input file(s)  : char(255) ? Baja.Cal
histfile       : char( 31) ? [] input.tst
%
