C. Control Break Table

1. Introduction

One entry is generated by each CONTRL entry in the Environment section. An entry occupies a pair of words, the first pair on a card beginning with word 3. Up to eleven entries can be placed on a card.

2. Format
Word 1   BCI   1, Name
Word 2   P     L,,N

where   P = PZE   real control break
          = PTW   virtual control break

        L = relative location of the beginning of the control break
        N = length of the control break in words (may be 0).

All cards except the last must be full. The sign of the second word of the last entry is negative (P = MZE or MTW).

Control break table entries are ordered first by increasing relative location, and within this ordering by increasing length.

D. Text

1. Format

Words 3, 4 and 5 of a text card are used for up to 19 5-bit control groups, one for each following data word on the card. The sign bits of these control words are not used, and the control groups are given in sequence, up to 7 groups per word.

The information in the Text deck corresponds exactly to that shown on the assembly listing under the columns "OCTAL" and "CNTRL".

The first bit of a control group distinguishes between two basic word types:

1   standard data word
0   special entry
