are
programs
which
function
in
the
Serie

Both
programs
are
described
in
this
manual
because
of
the
likelihood
that
they
will
be
run
consecutively.
For
instance,
when
two
or
more
sorted
output
files
have
been
pro-
duced,
it
may
be
desirable
to
collate
them
into
a
single
ordered
file.
Tape
Sort

and
Collate
C(V)
can
be
stored
on
a
binary

tape
(BRT)
and
run
under
control
of
Tape
Loader-Monitor
C
or
Floating

INTRODUCTION
Sorting
is
an
integral
function
of
most
data
processing
applications,
in
that
sorting
proc-
esses
rearrange
randomly
ordered
input
data
to
produce
a
sequentially
ordered
output
data
file.
For
many
applications,
it
is
necessary
to
sort
files
consisting
of
variable-length
units
of
infor-
mation.
Tape
Sort
C(V)
is
the
general-purpose
Series
200
program
for
performing
variable-
length
sorting
functions
using
1
/2-inch
magnetic
tape.
A s a
general-purpo
se
program,
Tape
Sort
C(V)
can
be
adapted
to
different
data
formats
and
equipment
configurations,
enabling
it
to
handle
a
wide
variety
of
sorting
applications.
The
in-
formation
used
to
specialize
Tape
Sort
C(V)
for
a
particular
application
is
entered
at
the
begin-
ning
of
sort
processing
by
means
of
parameters
specified
by
the
user.
Input
to
Tape
Sort
C(V)
is
processed
through
the
program's
many
operational
segments
which
may
be
grouped
into
three
logical
segments:
presort,
merge,
and
last
pass.
The
presort
segment
accepts
the
input
data
in
the
form
of
variable-length
units
of
information
called
"items"
and
distributes
ordered
groups
of
items
called
"strings"
on
from
two
to
five
tape
reels.
The
merge
segment
combines
the
presorted
strings
into
fewer
and
longer
strings
during
a
series
of
merge
phases,
resulting
in
only
one
long
string
on
each
work
tape
except
one.
The
last-pass
segment
further
combines
these
single
strings
into
a
contiguous
sequence
-
the
sorted
file.
The
activities
performed
during
the
presort
and
last-pass
segments
can
be
augmented
by
routines
written
by
the
user.
These
routines,
which
can
be
easily
written
using
Easycoder
symbolic
language,
are
referred
to
as
"own-coding."
Own-coding
can
be
used
to
provide
all
the
input
to
be
processed,
or
to
supplement
sort
processing
by
modifying
header
and
trailer
labels
and
inspecting,
modifying,
adding
or
deleting
items.
CHARACTERISTICS
OF
TAPE
SORT

Check
and
Checkpoint
Terminology
for
Tape
Sort
C{V)
Throughout
Sections
I
to
V
of
this
manual,
the
following
terms
should
be
interpreted
as
defined
here.
A
"checkpoint"
is
a
routine
programmed
to
check
or
delay
processing
when
Tape
Sort
C(V)
requires
an
operator
decision.
A
"check"
is
a
term
used
to
denote
the
occurrence
of
a
checkpoint
and
is
relayed
to
the
operator
through
either
the
control
panel
(via
a
machine
halt)
or
the
console
typewriter
(via
a
typed
message).
All
checkpoints
associated
with
Tape
Sort
C{V)
are
listed
in
Table
5-1
and
numbered
to
correspond
to
the
appropriate
operator
action.

PROGRAM
SPECIALIZATION
PARAMETER
DESIGNA
TION
The
information
which
specializes
Tape
Sort
C(V)
for
a
particular
application
is
made
available
to
the
program
by
means
of
parameters
designated
by
the
user.
Parameters
may
be
supplied
to
the
sort
program
in
a
variety
of
ways,
depending
upon
the
method
by
which
the
pro-
gram
is
being
run.
For
instance,
if
Tape
Sort
C(V)
is
to
be
executed
as
a
single
run,
the
parame-
ter
characters
can
be
punched
on
three
parameter
cards,
as
described
in
Section
IV,
and
read
in
from
the
card
reader
under
control
of
Tape
Sort
C(
V)
segment
PO.
Another
method
of
parame-
ter
entry,
which
is
convenient
when
Tape
Sort
C(V)
is
to
be
run
as
one
of
a
series
of
programs,
is
for
the
user
to
include
coding
in
the
program
executed
immediately
before
the
sort
which
will
set
up
in
memory
the
specific
parameters
to
be
used
during
sort
processing
and
call
in
segment
PI
of
Tape
Sort
C(
V).
If
Tape
Sort
C(V)
parameters
are
entered
in
memory
by
the
preceding
program,
the
need
for
parameter
card
loading
is
elimated,
as
the
parameters
will
be
in
memory
when
the
preceding
program
calls
the
Loader-Monitor
to
load
the
sort
program.
If
the
parameters
are
set
up
by
the
preceding
program
(and
are
therefore
essentially
fixed),
any
minor
modifications
needed
for
a
particular
run
can
be
entered
manually
from
the
control
panel
or
console
when
Tape
Sort
C(V)
1
is
loaded.
Parameter
information
is
summarized
in
Table
4-2,
page
4-6,
and
the
parameter
charac-
ters
are
loaded
into
memory
starting
at
location
2,477
(octal).
The
following
paragraphs
de-
scribe
each
parameter
field.
NOTE:
When
numeric
parameters
are
specified,
leading
zeros
must
be
de-
signated;
for
example,
the
field
specifying
the
maximum
number
of
characters
per
item
(parameters
20-23)
is
designated
0080
if
items
do
not
consist
of
more
than
80
characters.
Tape
Unit
Specifications
(Parameter
Characters
1-19)
Tape
Sort
C(V)
requires
a
minimum
of
three
tape
drives.
Up
to
five
additional
drives
may
be
used
for
multi-reel
input
and
for
work
tapes
to
reduce
the
total
sort
time.
The
user
specifies
the
address
and
function
of
each
tape
drive
with
parameter

Multi
-Reel
Output
If
ITlulti-reel
output
occurs,
each
output
tape
is
rewound
when
filled
and
ITlust
be
replaced
with
another
tape
on
that
drive
address;
the
user
continues
to
have
access
to
header-trailer
and
iteITl-by-iteITl
own-coding.
Hash
Totals
Tape
Sort
C(V)
does
not
generate
hash
totals.
Should
the
user
wish
to
sort
even-parity
files
and
desire
to
include
hash
totals
on
the
final
output,
ITlethods
can
be
adopted
to
preserve
or
generate
hash
totals
according
to
the
nUITlber
of
input
reels
used
and
output
reels
anticipated.
For
instance,
if
a
single
reel
of
input
is
to
be
sorted
and
one
reel
of
output
is
anticipated,
the
hash
total
in
characters
21-30
of
the
standard
IBM
(even
parity)
input
trailer
will
autoITlatically
be
copied
onto
the
final
output
trailer.
When
ITlulti-reel
input
is
used
and
a
single
reel
of
output
is
expected,
the
user
can
apply
presort
header-trailer
own-coding
in
order
to
accuITlulate
the
hash
totals
froITl
each
input
trailer
and
use
last-pass
header-trailer
own-coding
to
include
the
accuITlulated
total
on
the
final
output
trailer.
If
the
user
anticipates
ITlulti-reel
output
and
de-
sires
hash
totals,
he
ITlust
use
last-pass
own-coding
to
generate
the
hash
totals.
CONSIDERATIONS
FOR
PROGRAMMING
OWN-CODING
The
starting
location
of
presort
own-coding
ITlust
be
above
the
highest
address
available,
as
given
in
paraITleters
45
through
50.
The
starting
location
of
last-pass
own-coding
ITlay
be
specified
below
the
highest
address
available
at
a
cost
of
restricting
the
ITleITlory
area
to
be
used
by
the
ITlerge
and
last-pass
segITlents.
If
header-trailer
own-coding
is
used,
the
address
which
references
a
label
references
the
first
(leftITlost)
character
of
that
label.
When
iteITl-by-iteITl
own-coding
is
being
used,
the
ad-
dress
which
references
an
iteITl
references
the
first
(leftITlost)
character
of
that
iteITl.
These
rules
apply
to
addresses
supplied
to
own-coding,
as
well
as
to
addresses
supplied
to
the
sort
prograITl
by
own-coding.

SECTION

TAPE
SORT
C(V)
OWN-CODING
During
the
presort
segtnent,
the
branch
to
item-by-item
own-coding
is
executed
before
each
item
is
moved
from
the
input
buffer
for
processing
by
the
sort
program.
The
branch
to
last-pass,
item-by-item
own-coding
is
executed
after
the
item
has
been
processed
by
the
last-
pass
segment
and
moved
to
the
output
buffer.
When
writing
own-coding
instructions,
the
user
should
be
especially
aware
of
the
following:
1.
When
a
machine
configuration
has
only
one
input/output
sector,
Tape
Sort
C(V)
uses
RWC2
for
reading
and
R
WC3
for
writing.
In
this
case,
the
user
must
specify
RWCl
and/or
RWCl'
in
his
instructions
-
RWC2
and
RWC3
must
not
be
used
for
own-coding.
If
a
machine
configuration
has
two
input/
output
sectors
(Feature
1115),
RWC2
or
its
second
I/O
sector
counterpart
(RWC5)
or
both
are
used
for
reading,
while
RWC3
or
its
second
I/O
sector
counterpart
(RWC6)
or
both
are
used
for
writing.
In
this
situation,
the
user
must
insure
that
no
read/write
channel
used
by
Tape
Sort
C(V)
is
used
for
own-coding.
2.
Tape
Sort
C(V)
uses
index
registers
1
through
4.
If
these
registers
are
used
during
an
own-coding
routine,
the
user
must
store
the
contents
of
the
registers
to
be
used
each
time
own-coding
is
entered
and
restore
the
original
contents
of
these
registers
before
re-entering
the
sort
program.
1
1
The
one
exception
to
this
rule
occurs
when
adding
an
item
from
own-coding,
as
index
register
1
is
not
restored
with
its
original
contents
(see
page
3-4).

POSITIONING
THE
INPUT
TAPE
If
the
restart
is
returning
to
the
beginning
of
the
presort,
the
input
tape
must
be
mounted
and
positioned
as
it
was
at
the
beginning
of
the
sort.
Normally,
positioning
requires
rewinding
the
tape;
however,
if
the
input
was
positioned
beyond
the
beginning
of
the
tape,
it
is
necessary
for
the
operator
to
reposition
it
to
the
actual
starting
point.
POSITIONING
OF
WORK
TAPE
1
If
work
tape
1
(the
final
output
tape)
was
positioned
at
the
beginning
of
tape
when
the
sort
run
began,
the
oper;;ttor
should
enter
a
blank
as
the
fourth
control
character
(see
Table
5-2)
to
cause
the
restart
to
rewind
the
tape.
If
work
tape
1
was
not
positioned
at
the
beginning
of
tape
when
the
sort
began,
the
operator
must
enter
"P"
as
the
fourth
control
character.
The
"P"
entry
inhibits
the
rewinding
of
work
tape
1
and
assumes
that
the
operator
has
repositioned
the
tape
exactly
as
it
was
at
the
beginning
of
the
sort.
Search
Direction
for
Restart
Segment
The
sort
program
normally
searches
forward
for
its
next
segment;
but,
when
the
restart
is
called
using
the
address
in
Loader-Monitor
fixed-start
3,
the
program
searches
backwards
for
the
restart
segment.
The
restart
segment,
once
loaded,
signals
the
sort
program
to
return
to
a
forward
search
direction.
Note
that
searching
backward
is
not
possible
when
using
Tape
Sort
C(V)
in
binary
run
card
format;
therefore,
fixed-

COLLATE
C(V)
BASIC
CONCEPTS
INTRODUCTION
Collate
C(V)
is
a
general-purpose
program
which
functions
in
the
SERIES
200/0PERATING
SYSTEM
-
MOD
1.
The
Collate
C(V)
program
is
designed
to
combine
from
two
to
five
previously
sequenced
(sorted)
files
consisting
of
variable-length
items
of
information
in
identical
format,
thereby
producing
a
single
sequenced
output
file
-
the
collated
file.
The
Collate
C(V)
program
performs
a
single-pass
routine
to
compare
items
from
each
input
file
and
to
write
the
items
in
sequence
(according
to
comparisons)
on
1/
2-inch
magnetic
tape.
Each
input
file
may
be
contained
on
one
or
more
magnetic
tape
reels;
however,
all
reels
con-
taining
a
given
file
are
processed
sequentially
from
a
single
tape
unit.
If
it
is
desired
to
collate
more
than
five
input
files,
two
or
more
collate
runs
are
required.
Because
Collate
C(V)
is
a
general-purpose
program,
it
can
be
adapted
to
a
variety
of
data
formats
and
equipment
configuratLons.
The
information
used
to
specialize
the
program
for
a
particular
collating
application
is
entered
at
the
beginning
of
the
collate
by
means
of
parameters
specified
by
the
user.
The
prescribed
functions-i;o
be
performed
by
Collate
C(V)
can
be
augmented
by
own-coding
routines
written

a
"checkpoint"
in
Collate
C(V)
is
a
routine
programmed
to
check
or
delay
processing
when
an
operator
decision
is
required.
A
"check"
is
a
term
used
to
denote
the
occurrence
of
a
checkpoint
and
is
relayed
to
the
operator
through
either
the
control
panel
(via
a
machine
halt)
or
the
console
typewriter
(via
a
typed
message).
All

COLLATE
KEYS
AND
KEY
FIELDS
The
files
to
be
collated
are
made
up
of
items
that
are
identified
and
sequentially
ordered
by
means
of
collate
keys.
A
collate
key
consists
of
those
key
fields
within
an
item
which
are
designated
as
the
basis
for
developing
a
sequential
relationship
among
the
items
from
each
file
to
be
collated.
Each
input
item
may
contain
up
to
ten
key
fields
with
up
to
99
characters
per
field.
These
key
fields
can
be
located
anywhere
within
an
item,
provided
that
they
are
in
the
same
posi-
"-..,.-..
tion
within
each
item.
4/28/67

SECTION
VI.
COLLATE
C(V)
BASIC
CONCEPTS
The
location
of
each
key
field
is
specified
by
the
user
in
parameter
characters
81
through
140.
If
more
than
one
key
field
is
used,
all
fields
must
be
specified
in
decreasing
order
of
im-
portance;
i.
e.,
the
key
field
of
major
importance
is
specified
first.
NOTE:
If
items
are
blocked,
a
character
count
per
item
occupies
the
first
(left-
most)
two
(three
for
IBM)
characters
in
the
item;
the
leftmost
charac-
ter
of
the
character
count
is
considered
the
first
character
of
the
item
-
the
character
count
field
may
not
be
used
as
a
key
field.
Collate
key
fields
can
contain
any
octal
configuration.
Standard
Honeywell
collating
se-
quence
is
normally
used
in
the
collate,
but
the
user
may
produce
his
output
in
standard
IBM
collating
sequence
by
specifying
the
appropriate
parameter.
MAGNETIC
TAPE
UNITS
Tape
drives
for
I/Z-inch
tape
are
used
by
the
Collate
C(V)
program.
In
systems
equipped
with
a
recording
density
option,
the
higher
density
offers
higher
collating
efficiency.
UNREADABLE
INPUT
RECORDS
In
the
event
that
an
unreadable
record
occurs
(the
read-error
check
recurs
after
several
attempts
at
rereading),
the
collate
program
will
proceed
according
to
the
error
option
specified
in
the
appropriate
parameters.
OPTIONAL
PRINTOUT
S
If
a
printer
is
to
be
used
and
is
specified
in
parameters,
the
collate
program
automatically
prints
out
a
list
of
collate
parameters
(if
loaded
by
the
program),
the
input
header
label
(if
stand-
ard),
and
an
end-of-collate
message
giving
a
count
of
tne
items
processed
and
items
deleted.
COLLATE
PROCESS
The
Collate
C(V)
program
compares
the
key
fields
of
items
from
each
input
file
and
moves
the
item
with
the
lowest
key
field
configuration
to
an
output
buffer
area
where
a
variable
number
of
collated
items
will
be
written
in
record
form
on
an
output
tape.

The
steps
given
below
in
conjunction
with

provide
a
summary
of
the
Collate
C
process.
1. A
record
consisting
of
a

of
items
is
read
from
each
input
file
into
an
input
buffer
area
in

C(V)
PROGRAM
SPECIALIZATION
PARAMETER
PREPARATION
The
information
which
specializes
Collate
C(V)
for
a
particular
application
is
described
to
the
program
by
means
of
parameters
designated
by
the
user.
Parameters
may
be
entered
in
a
variety
of
ways
depending
upon
the
method
in
which
the
collate
program
is
being
run,
For
in-
stance,
if
the
program
is
to
be
executed
as
a
single
run,
the
parameters
can
be
punched
on
two
parameter
cards,
as
described
on
page
8-
2,
and
read
in
from
the
card
reader
under
control
of
collate
segment
00.
Another
method
of
parameter
entry,
which
is
convenient
when
Collate
C(V)
is
to
be
run
as
one
of
a
series
of
programs,
is
for
the
user
to
include
coding
in
the
program
executed
immediately
before
the
collate
program
which
will
set
up
in
memory
the
specified
pa-
rameters
to
be
used
during
collate
processing
and
call
in
collate
segment
01.
If
collate
parameter
s
are
entered
in
memory
by
the
preceding
program,
the
need
for
parameter
card
loading
is
eliminated,
as
the
parameters
will
be
in
memory
when
the
preceding
program
calls
the
Loader-Monitor
to
load
Collate
C(V).
If
the
parameters
are
set
up
by
preceding
program
(and
are
therefore
essentially
fixed),
any
minor
modifications
needed
for
a
particular
run
can
be
entered
manually
from
the
control
panel
when
Collate
C
is
loaded.
1
Parameter
information
is
summarized
in
Table
8-2,
and
the
parameter
characters
are
loaded
into
memory
starting
at
location
2,477
(octal).
The
following
paragraphs
describe
each
parameter
field.
NOTE:
When
numeric
parameters
are
specified,
leading
zeros
must
be
designated;
for
example,
the
field
specifying
the
maximum
number
of
characters
per
item
(parameters
25
through
28)
is
designated
0100
if
there
is
to
be
a
maximum
item
size
of
100
characters.
Tape
Unit
Specifications
(Parameter
Characters
1-24)
The
Collate
C(V)
program
requires
a
minimum
of
three
tape
drives.
Up
to
four
additional
drives
may
be
used
for
multireel
output
and
to
increase
the
number
of
input
files
being
collated.
The
user
specifies
the
address
and
function
of
each
tape
drive
in
characters
1
through
24.
Two
characters
are
required
to
address
a
tape
drive:
the
first
character
specifies
a
tape
control
and
the
input/output
sector
to
which
it
is
connected;
the
second
character
designates
a
particular
tape
drive
attached
to
the
control.
The
six
bits
of
the
first
character
(V

are
used
as
follows:
lparameters
may
be
loaded
by
any
method
available
to
the
user
at
any
time
after
the
Loader-
Monitor
is
loaded,
but
the
parameters
must
be

output
header
label.
The
data
is
written
in
character
positions
31
through
35
of
an
80-character
label.
Note
also
that
Collate
C(V)
inserts
a
reel
sequence
number
in
character
positions
17
through
19.
The
output
trailer
will
be
identical
to
the
trailer
of
the
last
reel
of
the
primary
input
file,
except
that
record
and
item
counts
for
the
combined
file
will
be
established
by
the
collate
pro-
gram.
If
nonstandard
labels
are
specified,
the
header
label
of
the
primary
input
file
and
the
trailer
record,
if
any,
on
the
last
reel
of
this
file
will
be
copied
onto
the
final
output
reel.
Output
Label
Verification
(Parameter
Character
41)
Character
41
is
a
"1"
if
multireel
output
is
expected
and
it
is
desired
to
have
the
collate
program
verify
the
date
and
retention
cycle
on
all
final
output
reels
except
the
first.
(It
is
the
user's
responsibility
to
assure
that
the
first
final
output
tape
can
be
written
on.
)
For
each
output
reel
after
the
first,
the
tape
is
read
forward,
so
that
one
record
is
read
into
memory.
If
the
first
five
characters
of
the
record
are
"lHDR~,
11
the
date
and
retention
cycle
are
compared
against
those
prescribed
by
the
Loader-Monitor,
and
a
check
occurs
if
the
label
is
in
error
(checkpoint
24).
Character
41
is
blank
if
the
output
label
check
is
not
desired.

COLLATE
C(V)
PROGRAM
SPECIALIZATION
Banner
Characters
(Parameter
Characters
42-43)
Characters
42
and
43
are
used
to
specify
the
presence
or
absence
of
banner
characters
in
input
and
output
records.
Character
37
is
a
"1"
if
banner
characters
are
not
expected
on
the
input.
If
character
37
is
blank,
the
collate
program
checks
input
records
for
a
banner
charac-
ter,
regardless
of
its
binary
configuration.
If
character
37
is
any
nonblank
character
other
than
"1,"
the
collate
program
will
select
from
the
input
files
only
those
records
that
have
the
speci-
fied
banner
character.
The
option
to
select
on
a
specific
banner
character
allows
the
user
to
process
certain
types
of
records
from
the
input
file
while
bypassing
all
records
without
the
designated
banner.
For
example,
if
the
user's
input
file
consists
of
records
of
information
from
Washington,
Paris,
London,
Los
Angeles,
etc.,
(the
records
of
the
file
should
have
specific
banner
characters,
e.
g.,
"418"
for
Washington,
"428"
for
Paris,
etc.)
and
he
wished
to
collate
only
those
items
with
information
from
Washington,
he
could
specify
a
"J"
(equivalent
to
a
"41
8
")
in
character
42,
and
the
collate
program
would
accept
only
the
input
records
with
banner
character::;
of
"418"
and
collate
the
items
contained
therein.
NOTE:
It
is
recommended
that
the
special
banner
character
designated
be
in
the
range
41
through
77
(octal).
Character
43
is
a
"I"
if
output
records
are
not
to
have
banner
character
s
or
a
blank
if
the
first
character
in
each
output
record
is
to
be
a
banner
character
(56
octal).
As
with
input
records,
if
an
alphanumeric
character
other
than
"I"
is
specified
in
character
43,
that
specific
character
is
written
as
a
banner
character
in
each
output
record.
The
possible
configurations
for
characters
42
and
43
are
summarized
in
the
following
table,
where
"x"
represents
any
desired
alphanumeric
character
(l
excluded).
