identifies the file. Its format is

file.no
  1. If the file reference is to a file in a deck other than the one named on the *POOL card, the deck.name of the deck in which the file is described must be specified in addition to the file number. Its format with required parentheses is
deck.name(file.no)

The file references must be separated by commas and no blanks may be embedded in the field.

If the variable field information extends beyond a card additional cards may be used as needed. However, the 'deck.name' and a 'pool.no' must be the same on all cards for the same pool. All other remaining fields need appear in only one of the cards; if on more than one, the first (non-blank) value encountered is used.

F. *GROUP Card

  1. Format

    The information of the *GROUP card corresponds to that on the Commercial Translator Environment GROUP card. The format of the *GROUP card is:

1-6         7-12     14-15      17-18     20-21     23-25
deck.name   *GROUP   group.no   pool.no   Opn.cnt   Buffer.cnt

file1, file2, ..., filen
  1. Specification

    File references and variable field overflow, follow the same rules as the *POOL card. The deck.name, if used, must correspond to that of the *POOL card with which it is associated through the pool number. The file references on the *GROUP card need not be duplicated on the *POOL card in order to be included in the pool. However, the *POOL card may have file references other than those on associated *GROUP cards.

    All *POOL cards are processed first, in the order read, then *GROUP cards. If there is a conflict in pool or group assignments (e.g., a file directly assigned to some pool, then to a group belonging to another pool, or a file assigned to two different groups or pools) the first assignment is used.
