Requires:

Synopsis
ASAP SD task [DEPRECATED]: manipulate flag version files

Description

### DEPRECATION WARNING ################################################# This task will be removed in CASA 5.1. The functionality of this task with MeasurementSet format is replicated with flagmanager. #########################################################################

Task sdflagmanagerold enables users to save the current flag information (both channel and row flags) in the given SD dataset out to a separate ’flag version file’. In the current implementation, sdflagmanagerold calls flagmanager internally, so these flag version files are copies of the flag columns for a measurement set actually. They can be restored to the data set to obtain a previous flag version. Users can also list, delete and rename flag version files using sdflagmanagerold. It is wise to save a flagversion at the beginning or after serious editing.
