APPENDIX II
REQUIRED SPACE ON DISC FOR BATCHES
The control command SET (see Users Guide for further information)
reserves a number od disc segments for a batch. Each segment
holds 512 bytes.
During the keying operation three kinds of data are stored in the
batch:
1. Batch description,
2. Data records,
3. Register records.
The following describes how to calculate required space for rec-
ords that are entered with a given format. (All sizes in bytes).
1. B_a_t_c_h_ _D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n_
Fixed length of 1 segment = 512 bytes.
2. D_a_t_e_ _R_e_c_o_r_d_s_
Gross record length calculated as:
the sum of defined field lengths
+ 2 * number of fields in the subformat (including not
keyed and 0-length fields)
+ 13
3. R_e_g_i_s_t_e_r_ _R_e_c_o_r_d_s_
In order to facilitate replay a picture of the registers - a
register record - is frequently kept in the batch.
The length of the register record is calculated as follows:
the sum of defined register lengths
+ 4 * largest defined register index
+ 17
One register record is stored for each 10 data records.
\f
E_x_a_m_p_l_e_
Consider a format with only one subformat which contains 10 fields
and has a net field length of 60 characters.
Gross record length = 60 + 2 * 10 + 13 = 93 characters.
If the format uses X01-X03 with a total length of 20 characters,
then the register record will hold
20 + 4 * 3 + 17 = 49 characters:
If 500 documents of this type are to be registered, the batch
will require the following disc space:
512 + 500 * 93 + (500/10) * 49462 characters = 97 segments.\f
APPENDIX III
EXAMPLES
A Format Example
As an example of a format with image, see the invoice from a
greengrocer on page A III - 2.
The invoice consists of three parts:
1) The head of the invoice with fields concerning the customers.
2) The body with one line for each sort of vegetables the
customer has bought.
3) The end of the invoice with the total price.
The format consists of four subformats:
H - defines the registers used.
1 - controls input of the head of the invoice.
2 - controls input of one line in the body of the invoice.
3 - controls input of the end of the invoice.\f

APPENDIX VII
MESSAGES FROM TRANSLATE
The printout produced by supervisor program TRANSLATE contains
the size of the translated item or error messages if the batch to
be translated contains errors.
The size is given in the following format:
SIZE OF name':size'BYTES
where name' is the name of the format, subprogram, or table
produced.
The size' field, when a subprogram or table is translated, ind-
icates the number of bytes (characters) occupied by the item when
incorporated in a format. The size' field given when a format is
produced incorporates referenced core-tables and subprograms, but
does not include an eventual image (see below) and indicates
there by the (net) size of the format when loaded into memory. To
calculate the gross size, add required space for registers and
records.
The size of an eventual image will be given as follows:
SIZE OF IMAGE: size' BYTES
In case of erros the printout will contain one or more of below
listed messages, each message being headed by its number (as in
the list).
If an error causes a stop in the execution of TRANSLATE it is
noted in the following list by means of STOP; on the other hand,
if an error causes a skip in the batch it is noted by SKIP. The
sign - denotes that the error neither STOPs nor SKIPs.
The following cases of error printouts contain references to the
batch:
\f
subf' means the subformatname, which is just now handled by
TRANSLATE. if translation of subprograms.
fieldno' means the fieldnumber in subf'; counted from 1;
field definitions with length = 0 or field
definitions with outpos = 0 are defined by
fieldnumber for latest field + relative field
definition number (with length = 0 or outpos =
0). 0 if translation of subprograms.
lineno' means the linenumber relative within fieldno';
counted from 1.
symbolno' means the symbolnumber relative within lineno;
counted from 1 (e.g.:
- a field definition is one symbol;
- ALARM, THEN, IN, etc. are one symbol each;
- "ONE SYMBOL" are three symbols;
- + 123 are two symbols;
- ', '=, , =, etc. are one symbol each;

1.5 Text File
In order to increase the flexibility of the system, as regards
texts for articles, accounts, error messages, and headings on hard
copy output, a text file is incorporated so that the individual
user can choose the texts he thinks most appropriate.
These texts must be opened by using a numbered key system as shown
in the following. There are 5 types of text:
1. Article
2.
3. Error Message
4. Headings
5. Standard text to put on the invoices by the fk command (see
Invoicing program).
Remember that all text inputs must be preceded and followed by the
" character.
1.5.1 To OPEN A TEXT INTO THE TEXT FILE
Type:
ta text type'text no.'no. of lines'text' RETURN
The ta command reserves space in a memory area for a certain
amount of text (the amount required is indicated with the "no. of
lines" - where no. of lines must not exceed 10 - variable). The
first line of the text is entered simultaneously with the
reservation of the required space. The remaining lines are written
in the reserved memory space by successive use of the tb command
(see Section 1.5.2).
The variable "text type" indicates whether an article, error
message or heading text is required.
RCSL No. 42-i 0826
Page 10 of 50\f
If then, for example, an article text is required then the article
no. is substituted for the text no.
i.e., if entry of article nos. are required then
text no. = article no., and text type = 1.
And, if entry of error message nos. are required then
text no. = error message no., and text type = 3.
If headings for hard-copy output are required then
text type = 4, and text nos. are as follows.
Text no. Text
