B. Verbs

1. ENTER

There are only two forms which this command may take: ENTER CRYPT and ENTER COMMERCIAL TRANSLATOR. The first form signals the processor that the following instructions are to be processed by CRYPT, the SCAT-like machine symbolic assembler of Commercial Translator. The second form of the command terminates the processing of CRYPT instructions and signals that Commercial Translator statements follow.

2. DISPLAY

The display device for the 709/7090 processor is the on-line 716 printer. Note that the portion of the material to be displayed which is written enclosed in quotation marks actually is an alphameric literal, which may not exceed fifty characters in length and must be complete upon a single line.

A check is made to determine whether the internal form of the sentence to be displayed is more than 255 words of storage. If it is, the entire literal will be printed but it will be printed as more than one physical record.
