CTM recognizes 8 different control cards. All of these are in the format of the Basic Monitor Control cards (Operation begins in column 1).
- $IBSYS
- $ID
- $ENDREEL
- $CMPLE
- $LOAD
- $SUBUP
- $MAIN
- $PAUSE
$IBSYS cards cause a return to the Basic Monitor.
$ID cards cause a transfer to an accounting routine.
$ENDREEL cards, when read by CTM, cause a reel switch involving SYSIN1 and SYSIN2.
$ENDREEL cards must always be preceded by an associated end-of-file on SYSIN.
The $ENDREEL may occur in the middle of a job (Example 1) or between jobs (Example 2).
