Group2rdb

Name:
Group2rdb - A utility to create an rdb control file for use with nwts2rdb (time-series) from an existing ADAPS group.

Information:

nwts2rdb is extremely useful for retrieving time series data from NWIS. One of the features of nwts2rdb is the ability to use a control file to pull data from many stations at one time (for large data requests, for example). This utility aids in the creation of an nwts2rdb control file by reading the stations from an existing ADAPS group and by prompting the user for other information required to build the file (type of data to pull and date range).

Script Language:
ksh

Requirements:

• NWIS 4_3
