4. File header#

We store a list named “BASE GLOBALE JEVEUX” of 5 attributes associated with the « group « /containing respectively:

  1. a text identifying the version of Code_Aster used to build the file,

  2. the name of the computing server used,

  3. the name of the system on the server,

  4. the execution date of the code,

  5. 3 machine characteristics (length in bits of the standard integer, length in bytes of the standard integer, length in bytes of the addressing unit).

The first piece of information is used during rereading to possibly emit an alarm when the version of Code_Aster used differs. Some data structures or catalogs may prove to be incompatible.
