Algorithm

• Copy dataset specified by parameter set to that specified by parameter outset.

• Access table PNAUX1 in new dataset; this is the new combined table.

• Access table PNAUX2 in new dataset. This is (a copy of) the Second Binary Table, and will be combined with the table listed above.

• Create 5 new columns (NABOVE, NDEFA, NEPDH, NDISCLIN and MCOMMODE) in the combined table.

• Set the initial value of each entry in the above columns to zero.

• For each row in Second Binary Table
  • Note the column values of that row (ie CYCLE, QUADRANT, NABOVE, NDEFA, NEPDH, NDISCLIN and MCOMMODE)
  • For each row in combined table
    • if the value of the CYCLE column for matches that of the CYCLE value noted, AND the value of the QUADRANT column for matches that of the QUADRANT value noted, then copy the NABOVE, NDEFA, NEPDH, NDISCLIN and MCOMMODE values noted to the corresponding columns in the combined table.
• End loop

• Close dataset and cleanup
