That program formatted the MGD073 format (punch card) into dbSEABED format, applied plausibility error checking, and wrote metadata in the data when inconsistencies were found.

They were detected by the translating program when <30% or >90%.

The processing contained quality checking that may have declined to pass faulty or suspect data to outputs. GSM and GSSC datasets were suspect if their totals did not fall within 1% of 100%.
