8.10.7. ORISDESC: ORIS description

The ORISDESC file provides descriptive information for the ORIS IDs, which Smkinven uses when reporting the status of reading and matching CEM data. The information in this file will appear in the REPINVEN output file from Smkinven. The format of the ORISDESC file is shown in Table 8.102, “Format for ORISDESC. Note that only the first five columns of data need to appear in the file; the rest can be blank because SMOKE does not use any information past column E.
