Title: Monthly energy review database [electronic resource]
- Distribution Media: 5 1/4" floppy diskettes
- SuDoc Number: E3.9/2:
Abstract:
The Monthly Energy Review Database (MERDB) provides a machine readable
transcription of energy and related data published in the "Monthly
Energy Review" (MER). The MERDB is produced using the same parent
database and system that produces the data published in the MER.
Extent of Collection: The distribution media contained DOS ASCII
documentation files and DOS ASCII CSV data files.
Data Conversion:
Extraneous ASCII characters were removed from the ASCII documentation and
data files. The "fixed" documentation files were saved with .TXT file
extensions. The "fixed" data files were saved with .CSV file extensions.
Users are advised that the 1993 DOS ASCII CSV data file MERDB.DTA has a "bad"
data record (record or line 462). This record contains octals 0,2,14,
and 20. These octal codes were replaced with blanks in the "fixed" file
MERDB.CORRUPTED.CSV. For more information about data conversion, see
File Processing and Quality Control.
Minimum Software Requirements: (1) Software capable of reading ASCII
text files. (2) Database software capable of importing ASCII CSV files.
- ASCII text - text files can be read by most file viewers and
word processing software.
- ASCII data - text data files can be imported into most
statistical and database software. Data values may or may not
use separators. Common separators are commas (ASCII CSV), tabs
or spaces.
Files: DOS ASCII files contain carriage return characters. ASCII files
do not contain cariage return characters. For information about downloading
these files, see Downloading Tips
