INPUT PREPARATION

17. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This section describes the type of data which are entered on each
card and which cards to use for the available input data and the type
of analysis desired. The actual format of the input data is described
in detail in Exhibit 5, Input Description.

The program has been designed to be flexible in the types of data
that can be input for analysis and in the detail of output desired.
Therefore, particular attention was given to methods of inputting
the data. Many of the cards are optional cards and need not be provided
unless that particular data are needed to be input, a particular type of
analysis is desired, or selected portions of the output are to be
suppressed.
