12.1 The IUE Reference Databases

Users may be interested in finding out what has been published about a particular object related to IUE. The databases containing the references, lists of coauthors, and object name aliases are incomplete, however, there is a program available to search them called IUEREF. It is a menu program similar to SEARCH:

IUEREF,RESET,artlist,objlist 

RESET Six element string array of search parameters. If you do not care about having the search parameters saved, it can be considered a dummy variable.
artlist List of article numbers pertaining to the IUEJRNL and IUECOAU databases.
objlist List of object numbers pertaining to the IUEJRNL and ALIAS database.

The RESET parameter is constructed within IUEREF if it is not a six element string array. The artlist and objlist parameters are useful for those planning to run the lower-level database routines.

As of 22 November 1994, the database contained articles through 1993. The lists of IUE images and objects was complete for the periods 1978-1985 and 1990-1992. Updates to the databases are done regularly; the date of the last update can be displayed by selecting option 0 from the menu.
