3.2.10 - Set Tar File information
=================================


.. _ST:

Action Option -**ST** (-**SetTarfile**) :
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

modifies tar file information in GDEXDB for the given
conditions. One or more tar files can be processed per call.

Although a specialist can modify a tar file record, this is rarely needed.
Tar file records are normally generated automatically for a successfully
built request that contains many small data files.
