IDNTYP
IDNTYP sets character or numeric station identifiers to be used for
input or output. The valid values are STID and STNM. STID specifies
station character identifiers; STNM specifies station numbers.
If the value in IDNTYP is not STNM, the default of STID will be used.
For example, to update station headers in SFSTNS:
IDNTYP = STID -- compares character ids in file with those
in the station table
IDNTYP = STNM -- compares numeric ids in file with those
in the station table
