Comments

  1. The input of dimension=1 is similar to the input of a function /FUNCT.
  2. A function and a table cannot share the same identifier.
  3. Each function which is referenced can be defined through /FUNCT or /TABLE/1/table_ID and dimension=1.
  4. The abscissa of associated functions is considered as the first entry. Next, the input entries A, B and C are considered as second, third and fourth entries.
  5. A function must be associated to each possible combination of entries A, B, and C.
  6. The cards associating functions to the combinations of entries may be entered in an arbitrary order.
  7. Each function may have unique spacing and arbitrary number of points in their definition.
  8. The functions are completed up to the total number of abscissa values among all functions which are referenced into the table: each function is linearly extrapolated with a slope defined by the two first (resp. two last) points of the function. It is linearly interpolated between two consecutive points of the function.
