Notes on Using the Index Tables
Each index table contains one row (record) for each data product
on the volume. The table is formatted so that it can be read directly
into many data management systems. All fields are separated by commas
and character fields are enclosed in double quotation marks (").
Character fields are left justified and numeric fields are right
justified. Each record ends with ASCII carriage return and line feed
characters. This allows the table to be treated as a fixed length
record file on computers that support this file type and as a normal
text file on other computers.
The PDS label file for each table describes the content and
structure of the fields in the index table. This description includes
the name of each field, its format, and a brief definition. The
values for start byte and number of bytes listed in the label file do not
include commas between fields or quotation marks surrounding character
fields.
