MKREDT/CCD out_tab
	Create CCD empty table with columns for science and calibration frames
\us\pu
Purpose:    
	Create an empty CCD  table containing columns for the science frames
	and the master calibration frames to be used in the reduction
\up\sy
Syntax:     
	MKRED/CCD out_tab
\ys\pa
        red_tab= output CCD table with empty columns that can be filled with
                 the names of the unreduced science frames and the master 
                 calibration frames assocoated with the science frames and to 
                 be used for their reduction. The names of the columns are 
                 take from the keywords SC_COL to contain the science frames; 
                 BS_COL to contain the master bias frames; DK_COL for the 
                 master dark frames; FF_COL for the master flat frames, and 
                 SK_COL for the master sky frames. Ill defined columns (e.g.
                 " " or "?") will not be created.
                 No default.

Note:
        This command enables the user to create a table similar to the format
        of the Data Organizer association table. The table can be filled with 
        the names of the science frames to be reduced and their associated 
        master calibration frames.

        The table can be used for the command COMBINE/CCD to create the master
        calibration frames, provided the naming convention is followed, or the
        command REDUCE/CCD to reduce the science frame(s) in the table using 
        the calibration frames listed in the various columns.
