indicate the success or failure of the run, relative to other runs.
The instructions to be used to regulate these procedures are described
in part 3; the data needed by the programs are discussed in part [OCRerr].
2.2. Tape Setup
The tapes used by S[OCRerr]T are named AONE, ATWO, ATHREE, ... AEIGHT, BONE,
BTWO, BTHR[OCRerr][OCRerr], ..., BSIX. By means of two internal tables, these names are
translated first into logical tape ixumbers and then into physical tape unit
addresses. This last translation takes place using the operating system
table (IOU), and SW[OCRerr]T is therefore adaptable to almost any tape assignment
of the individual monitor system. To aid in running SMART under a given
monitor, the first table (which translates SMART tape names to logical
numbers) is variable at object time through the normal specification system.
Unless altered in this way, the SMART tapes correspond to the 7O9[OCRerr] tape
drives with the same names under the (Iou) table of the Harvard monitor
(see Table 1). Because of this convention, the distinction between SMART
tape AFIVE (for ex[OCRerr]nple) and the physical drive AS will not be D[OCRerr]de in this
writeup, although the correspondence is indirect.
SMART assumes' that input will be on [OCRerr] (actually ATWO) in accordance
with the practice in use for most EMS operating systems. Output print is
placed on A3; punching is done through the offline punch tape [OCRerr]. The
SMART program tape is placed on B3; it is a normal EMS chain tape (see
part 5.3). The library tape is mounted on unit B5; any input data tape
goes on A6. All remaining tapes (A4, A5, A7, A8, Bl, B2, [OCRerr]) are used as
scratch tapes. A4 is needed for any loo[OCRerr]p, and is also used if AN[OCRerr]SER
MEDIUM or AN[OCRerr]ER LONG is requested. A5 is needed for the lookup, and for
