sffiim

Display one or all datasets in an IIM file
or
write the contents of a single IIM dataset to an existing file

If there is a parameter file (in tables/setup),
    tag:(rec.tag)   data: (fipSeq)
    tag:2.100   data:Hello - \JH
    or
    mandatory-tag:2.100 data:Hello - \JH
        Save 'Hello - \JH' into the  contents of record 2, dataset 100
        if mandatory-tag is specified, then the tag is ALWAYS added even if the data
is blank
        otherwise blank data means the tag-data will NOT be added

    action: a/z
        a - add data to these tags
        z - zap these tags
