2. Environment for MASTER Records
The master file is a standard binary tape file containing only MASTER records. Twenty 15-word records are grouped to form 300-word blocks on tape, with each record complete within a block, since it is desired to process input records in the buffer area, in the locate mode. The FILE and SPECIF cards for INPUTMASTER and OUTPUTMASTER, provide the system with these characteristics.
D. The DETAIL File
The detail input file, DETAILFILE, consists of records containing a date, total hours worked during a pay period, and the employee number of an employee on the payroll.
1. Data Description
Data Description entries specify that all fields of the detail records are in external mode since they are generated on a card punch. HOURS is the only field upon which arithmetic operations are performed, and consequently, is the only field specified as numeric (9's in description). Detail records consist of the following 709/7090 words:
| Word | Field |
