IAEA1248 INDXENDF.

1. NAME OR DESIGNATION OF PROGRAM:  INDXENDF ( A PC Visual Catalogue
for data in ENDF Format). INDXENDF (VAX/VMS version).

3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

This program is a video catalogue for libraries in the ENDF-4, ENDF-5 or ENDF-6 format (Evaluated Nuclear Data File) which can be run on an IBM-PC or compatible computer.
This user friendly catalogue is of interest to nuclear and reactor physics researchers. The input is the filename of ENDF data and the  two output files contain:
i. the list of materials with corresponding laboratory, author and date of evaluation;
ii. information about the MF and MT numbers for each material.
The program is written in the C language whose capability of providing windows and "interrupts" along with speed and portability, has been greatly exploited. The system allows output of options (i)  and (ii) either on screen, printer or hard disk.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

The source code of about 3000 lines was written in C. The routines for windowing were based on the following works:  Hummel (1988), Stevens (1989), Lafore (1987), Borland International  (1988a, 1988b) and Schildt (1988, 1989).

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

The executable program occupies about 52 KB of memory. The extra hard disk space needed depends upon the size of the ENDF/B data file to be processed (e.g. the Activation file contains about 1.3 M-bytes, the General Purpose ENDF/B-VI has four parts, each containing about 12 M-bytes).  To run the program the "datafile" and the executable code ".EXE" file should be on the hard-drive. The program may be run on any IBM/PC  or compatible with at least 640KB RAM.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

To run the first part of complete ENDF/B-VI data, it takes about 2 minutes on an IBM-PC 486, 33 MHz, and 35 minutes on a VAX (ENDF/B-VI LIBRARY PART 1, 25866 blocks).

The sample problem was executed at the NEA-DB on a DEC VAX 6000-510 under OpenVMS 6.0-1. Only a few seconds of elapsed  are required to process the ENDF/B-VI data file (160 Kbyte).

7. UNUSUAL FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM:

8. RELATED AND AUXILIARY PROGRAMS

The input file should be in the same directory as the executable program (INDXENDF.EXE) and must have a name with the extension NDF (Name.NDF). The DEFNTION.MF and DEFNTION.MT files should also be in the same directory. In these files the MF and MT numbers are defined.

11. MACHINE REQUIREMENTS

The program may be run on any IBM/PC or compatible with at least 640 KB RAM. The VAX/VMS version was created and tested on a MICRO VAX II with 1.6 Mips, 0.13 Mflops and 16 Mbytes of RAM.

NEA-DB installed and ran the program on a DELL Optoplex GXM 5100 PC/100MHz with 16MB of RAM.

The sample problem was run at the NEA-DB on a DEC VAX under OpenVMS 6.0-1. The filesize of the executable program is about 80 Kbytes.

13. OPERATING SYSTEM UNDER WHICH PROGRAM IS EXECUTED

IBM-PC-DOS 3.01 or later version, for the PC Version and VMS 5.1, for the VAX/VMS version.

NEA-DB ran the test case under MSDOS 6.2.

The program was tested at the NEA-DB under OpenVMS 6.0-1

14. OTHER PROGRAMMING OR OPERATING INFORMATION OR RESTRICTIONS

The
source code of about 3,000 lines is written in C. The routines for windowing were based on the following works: Hummel (1988), Stevens  (1989), Lafore (1987), Borland International (1988a, 1988b) and Schildt (1988, 1989).
