The purpose of the ARCHIVE computer program is twofold: (1) convert selected hourly binary data into formatted ASCII data, and (2) organize the converted data into monthly files. Formatted ASCII files are easier to access on a routine basis. The program is executed once a day and is initiated from a command file that submits itself to the SYS$BATCH queue on a daily basis. The monthly files are stored on the HMS computer's fixed hard disk and are merged into yearly files (located on removable disk packs) at the end of each year. This report describes the data bases maintained at the HMS, gives an overview of the ARCHIVE program, describes input and output files accessed by the ARCHIVE program, provides a description of program initiation, and discusses the limitations of the ARCHIVE program. A section on trouble-shooting is included. In addition, the appendixes contain flow charts, detailed descriptions, and source code listings for the ARCHIVE program and related subroutines. A description of the ARCHIVE command file and the data input and output files completes the report. 3 refs., 1 fig.
