The program ENSDAT (Evaluated Nuclear Structure Drawings And Tables) is similiar to the production program for the Nuclear Data Sheets but more limited in its application. Only ENSDF data files can be used as input and a PostScript file, list of keynumbers in NSR, and a report file are output. As the default, all possible tables, band drawings, and gamma drawings are done for each dataset encountered in the input file. However, it is possible to choose one or more of these groups of output (see below). In addition, it is possible to modify the default tables and drawings by adding commands to the input file using control cards. (See the file Enscomds.txt.) A final page is output to the PostScript file which gives a listing of all the keynumbers encountered in the input file.
The program asks for an input file name, an output file name and options. The ENSDF translation dictionary file must be in the same directory from which the program is executed. The input and output files may include a disk and directory path.
Input files:| TABLE | Level, gamma, and radiation information will be output in tabular format. |
|---|---|
| BAND | Band drawings will be output. Radplot type drawings are also output. |
| DRAW | Gamma drawings will be output. |
| NOAUTO | No drawings or tables will be generated except those which are specified by the user on control cards added to the input file. |
| 5.0 - 11.5 | These versions of ENSDAT were developed and maintained by Robert Kinsey. The programming was done in Fortran 77. |
| 12.0 | August 26, 2003. The code in this new release follows the Fortran 95 standard. The propriatary ISAM used for the ENSDF dictionary file has been replaced by a single random access file. A few bugs found during the conversion process have been fixed. The companion program, ENSWIN, is no longer supported. Instead, at the end of processing of the input file, a local PostScript viewer such as GhostView can be started to view the output PostScript file. |

The program COMTRANS_SL is a nuclear structure evaluator tool for translating comments in the Evaluated Nuclear Structures Data File (ENSDF) from the all upper case form to the upper/lower case form. In addition, translations of code words found in the NSD dictionary are made into a rich text type of format (e.g., |a replaces ALPHA and {+56}Fe replaces 56FE). These comments no longer need to be used with the NSD dictionary. However, evaluators should note that adding a code word to such a translated comment means they must change the lower case comment flag (c or t) in column 7 to an upper case comment flag (C or T) or rerun the file using COMTRANS_SL. Otherwise, ENSDAT (and the publication code), which do not translate lower case comment (c or t) cards), will output the code word unchanged. Finally, the input file is converted into a Y2K compliant form. All keynumbers are changed from the old 6 character keynumber (85AU01) into the new 8 character keynumber (1985AU01). The keynumbers and fields of the DSID and Q cards are also changed to comply with the Y2K formats.
The program asks for an input file name, an output file name and options. The ENSDF translation dictionary file must be in the same directory from which the program is executed. The input and output files may include a disk and directory path.
Input files:| 1.0 - 5.1 | These versions of COMTRANS were developed and maintained by Robert Kinsey. The programming was done in Fortran 77. |
| 7.0 | August 8, 2003. The code in this new release follows the Fortran 95 standard. The propriatary ISAM used for the ENSDF dictionary file has been replaced by a single random access file. |
Evaluators note: Please do not use COMTRANS on evaluations submitted to the NNDC. Some changes made by COMTRANS are irreversible and complicate editing the file. A program, ENSY2K, will do the Y2K conversion without changing the dictionary translations into a rich test type form.
