3.2 - Request Actions
=================================

A request record and its associated data file records are normally
generated when a user submits a data request through a web interface to
the program 'dsrqst.php' via HTTP POST entries, or through the command-line
program 'rdams'.

Request and data file information can be viewed and modified through the
actions in this section:
