To transfer a deck of cards to the SAIL file system:
First procure a tape (Les Earnest will loan you one). If it is a totally
brand-new tape, you will have to check with the consultants on campus for
instructions on labelling the tape. If the tape is already labelled, take
it to the operator in Pine Hall, and read in your deck preceded by the
following cards (text in brokets "<>" should be replaced by the appropriate
information):
//<job_name> JOB (<acct_no>,<bin_no>,10),'<your_name>'
/*KEY <your_keyword>
/*SETUP T,'<tape_id_no>,7TK,WR,<owner_of_tape>,<acct_no_of_tape>'
// EXEC PGM=RDWRT1
//FT09F001 DD UNIT=TAPE7,VOL=SER=<tape_id_no>,DISP=(OLD,PASS),
// LABEL=(1,BLP),DCB=(RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=80,LRECL=80,DEN=1,TRTCH=C)
//FT06F001 DD SYSOUT=A
//FT05F001 DD *
© NSETS=1,&END
//FT08F001 DD *
Your deck should immediately follow the //FT08F001 card. The <job name>
can be any eight-or-fewer-letter string; the <acct no> is the identifying
number of the account you are running under; the <bin no> specifies the
bin into which your output will be put if you don't pick it up right away.
<your keyword> is the keyword for your account. The tape, if it has been
previously used on campus, has an identifying external label which specifies
the tape identification number, the "owner" of the tape, and the account
number under which the tape was registered; your account number need not
match the account number appearing on the tape.
The only places where blanks may appear in the control cards are where they
appear above: before and after JOB in card one; after /*KEY in card two;
after /*SETUP in card three; around EXEC in card four; around DD in card
five, seven, eight, and ten; before LABEL in card six; and around © in
card nine.
An example appears below, for a user named Smith using account C000 and
keyword XXX, with a tape labelled with the following information:
tape id no = U4567
owner = Jones
acct no = J000
//TAPEJOB JOB (C000,510,10),'SMITH'
/*KEY XXX
/*SETUP T,'U4567,7TK,WR,JONES,J000'
// EXEC PGM=RDWRT1
//FT09F001 DD UNIT=TAPE7,VOL=SER=U4567,DISP=(OLD,PASS),
// LABEL=(1,BLP),DCB=(RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=80,LRECL=80,DEN=1,TRTCH=C)
//FT06F001 DD SYSOUT=A
//FT05F001 DD *

//FT08F001 DD *
<the user's deck goes here>
When you have your deck ready, and the operator has your tape, you read
your deck into the reader and await the output. If the output looks normal,
you reclaim your tape from the operator (you will have to sign it out), and
bring it to SAIL.
The next step is to create a file from the file on the tape. ASSIGN a tape
drive and mount your tape on it, then run TAPE, a program written by Dick
Helliwell, documented in TAPE.RPH[S,DOC]. All you should need to do is
specify the tape drive to TAPE, type "g" to get into input mode, and then
type "f" to read in a BCD file or "fe" for an EBCDIC file.
