SSDUMP outputs the contents of a source search results file in ascii form. The output device can be controlled using the standard ASTERIX DEV parameter (Ref 5,`` User Interface,Ascii Output"), which allows the console, printer or file to be chosen. For example,
> SSDUMP my_sources PRINTER \ SSDUMP Version 1.6-0 Output to PRINTER
By default SSDUMP generates a header listing the files searched and the important parameters for each column in the listing. This can be turned off by specifying the HEADER keyword false. Another keyword, ERRORS controls whether the field errors are printed. The HMS logical keyword toggles between decimal and sexigessimal output of celestial coordinates. These toggles permit most non-numeric text to be excluded from the output text, this facilitating import into other software.
