05.03 SYSTEM SET-UP PROCEDURE
A. Preparing the system input -- SYSIN1 and SYSIN2.
Since Subroutine updating and File Maintenance will be performed rarely, the input to the Commercial Translator Processor will usually consist of one or more of the following job types:
- Compile
- Load and run
- Compile, load, and run.
Each job on SYSIN (1 or 2) must be preceded by a control card which specifies the action to be performed on the following deck. (For format of job control cards see Section 04.02). Also, each job must be separated from other jobs by an end-of-file. The end-of-file separation should be obtained by placing an end-of-file card in back of each job deck. This card when read by an off-line 714 card-to-tape converter causes an end-of-file to be written on the tape. The same card is recognized as an end-of-file by the CT Processor whenever the input is read through the on-line card reader. This end-of-file card then, should be thought of as an integral part of every job deck. The format of the end-of-file card is:
| Columns | Punches in rows |
|---|---|
| 1 and 2 | 8 and 7 |
| 3 and 4 | 7, 4, 1, and 12 |
If there are input cards associated with a particular object program (i.e. if the object program references SYSIN), the input cards must be placed in a separate file immediately following the job to be run.
The end-of-file mark used with a 1401 card to tape set-up may have a different punch combination. Refer to the utility program write up when this set-up is being used.
