The "MDCO OPERATIONAL MANUAL" is written for message
distribution control operators of the CAMPS System.
It describes in detail the procedures and routines
necessary to optimize the daily operation of the CAMPS
System. Descriptions of commands, displays, and interpretation
of error codes are also provided.
The procedures and routines described throughout this
manual take the form of TRANSACTIONS.
A transaction is the dialogue which takes place between
the operator and the CAMPS System to execute a COMMAND.
The transaction identifies FORMATS and describes the
specific dialogue associated with each one. In each
case, a representative picture of the format is provided
(not to scale) on the right-hand page with a step-by-step
description of the associated dialogue on the left-hand
page.
Each format contains individual fields which are described
in terms of their elements, possible element values,
and the validation performed. Where SYSTEM RESPONSE
MESSAGES are returned as a result of garbled information,
these are also described.
Each acronym will be defined the first time it is used.
For ease of reference a Glossary is provided in section
5.

Figure 2.1.1-1 is an illustration of the display screen,
showing a representative format.
The VDU screen is divided into two areas; a five line
VDU header (Figure 2.1.1-1.a) and a 22 line format
area (Figure 2.1.1-1.b).
The header contains terminal status information.
The format area is used by the system to display formats
and by the operator to enter data.
V̲D̲U̲ ̲H̲e̲a̲d̲e̲r̲ ̲A̲r̲e̲a̲
1) T̲e̲r̲m̲i̲n̲a̲l̲ ̲F̲u̲n̲c̲t̲i̲o̲n̲ (refer to Figure 2.1.1-1.c).

2) C̲l̲a̲s̲s̲i̲f̲i̲c̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲ (refer to Figure 2.1.1-1.d)
This relates to the classification of the information
on the screen. It is a 20 character alpha field.
Displayed items with the classification identified
will be updated before the presentation of the
format.
For items where the classification will first be
recognized during validation, it will be updated
when the subsequent format is displayed.
The terminal and the operator have in their profile
a preset highest classification . The default classification
appearing on the screen is the lower of these two.
A list of the classification possibilities are
shown is chapter 5.2 IDENTIFIERS.
Figure 2.1.1-1
3) T̲i̲m̲e̲ (refer to Figure 2.1.1-2.a)

jump to the command line in the header. The operator
will then enter the command on this line. On pressing
the ENTER Key, the command will be executed, the
command line cleared, and the cursor repositioned
back within the main format area. A command will
consist of four alpha characters, i.e. PRPF followed
by a parameter field, if required. Commas or spaces
will be used as separators.
6) R̲e̲s̲p̲o̲n̲s̲e̲ ̲L̲i̲n̲e̲ (refer to Figure 2.1.1-3.b)

12) F̲i̲e̲l̲d̲ ̲D̲e̲s̲c̲r̲i̲p̲t̲o̲r̲ (Figure 2.1.1-5.a)
Each data entry field has a descriptor, specifying
whether the user should input alpha, numeric or
alphanumeric data, and whether the entry is optional
or mandatory. This descriptor is visible to the
user in the form of a symbol preceding each field,
as a reminder of the type of data required. The
descriptor will only be given for the first field
of a series of "identical" fields.
13) F̲i̲e̲l̲d̲ ̲P̲r̲o̲t̲e̲c̲t̲i̲o̲n̲
Unprotected data-entry fields are the only part
of the screen where characters can be written.

All the normal day-to-day functions and facilities
available to you are executed by using a series of
4-letter commands. Access to these commands, as well
as the subsequent dialogue which takes place after
command execution, are described in this section.
This description takes the form of step-by-step procedures,
numbered in chronological order, explaining what you
must do; what replies, messages and codes you can expect
from the system; what further actions are necessary
and descriptions of error messages associated with
the particular transaction in progress.
A transaction is the total process of command execution.
It consists of your dialogue with the system, the associated
VDU screen layout, the validation checks performed
on your entered data and subsequently displayed error
messages if you made a mistake.
The menu (or format) presented on the VDU screen consists
of data written in protected as well as unprotected
fields. Protected fields are reserved for use by the
system and you cannot write in them. You can only use
the unprotected fields for data-entry. After you have
completed input in one of these fields, you press the
TAB Key and the system will automatically move the
cursor to the first position of the next field where
data-entry is allowed. When you have completed your
input on the VDU keyboard, the system will validate
or check all your entered data for correctness. Full
validation only occurs after you have pressed the ENTER
key while character/number mistakes in the individual
fields are indicated by an audible alarm and no characters
will be entered.
