Welcome to the PADS live demo!

The menu on the left lists three PADS examples that you can execute using PADS.

Each example includes three basic components:

• PADS input file. This file describes each record in the input data file. It includes the data types (of each field), the separators between each field, and the name of each field.
• Input data. These are the input data records which will be processed by PADS, sequentially. You may change, add, delete, etc., in order to study PADS's handling of the input data.
• Output Type. At present, PADS is able to create three different types of output:
  • XML, written according to an XML schema generated by PADS during compilation
  • Reformatted, according to specifications in the PADS input file
  • Accumulator, offering a report on the values of the fields found in the input data.
