3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

CHECKR is a program for checking that an evaluated data file conforms to the ENDF format.

USCD1208/08

New version differs from previous version in the following features
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This version corrects all bugs reported to NNDC as of February 1, 2009 and
supersede all previous releases.

Version 8.01   November 2008    A. Trkov
               1. Minor update to process resonance LRF=7 representation

Version 8.00   August  2008     A. Trkov
               1. Major updating of the code and removal of many false errorr
                  messages.
               2. Further reduction of non-essential output.
               3. Read real variables in double precision to avoid reporting
                  errors reading small numbers.
               4. Implement extended features of the format endorsed by CSEWG.
               5. Fix minor bugs related to undefined variables.

Version 7.04   Sept 2007     R. Capote
               1. Can be compiled with GNU g95

Version 7.03   April 2006     M. Herman
               1. Warning subroutine introduced: 'MT ALLOWED IN DERIVED FILES'
                  classified as warning instead of an error

Version 7.02   May 2005     C.L. Dunford
               1. Only errors reported in output

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

CHECKR can recognise the difference between ENDF-6 and ENDF-5 formats and performs its tests accordingly. Integer control fields are checked to see that ENDF/B procedural limits on those fields are not violated. To the extent possible, fatal format errors are trapped to prevent unwanted termination of the program. Any file which passes through CHECKR without error messages fully conforms to the ENDF format.

14. OTHER PROGRAMMING OR OPERATING INFORMATION OR RESTRICTIONS

In addition to the batch mode version of each program, there are three interactive versions, one for WINDOWS compiled using HP Visual Fortran, one for OpenVMS and one for UNIX compiled using the Lahey Fortran-95 Compiler. These versions prompt the user for each piece of input data instead of reading it from an input file.
