thesaurus or phrase list, documents mtist be looked up again. The punched-
out decks include the appropriate *FIND, *LIKE or *TEDCT card.
4.3. DOCTAPS
If the DOCTAP specification is given a tape of binary documents
should be mounted on A6. This tape contains documents looked up in an
earlier run, as is true also of the documents which follow the *oNLY
card on [OCRerr]. The tape on A6 is in a different, more coppact, format,
however, which is written by the program [OCRerr]CTAP (6.2) from the binary
cards. The tape may contain several sets of looked-up documents. To
select the set to be used, a *FII[OCRerr] card should be provided. The *FII[OCRerr]
card contains *Yfl[OCRerr] in columns 1-5, a blank in column 6, and either an
integer or an alphabetical file name in columns 7-18. If a file name is
provided, the set of binary documents identified with that name on the
*NAME card produced when the tape was written (part 6.2) is read from A6.
If the integer n (punched anywhere in the field) is provided, the nth file
is read. If no *FILE card is provided, the physically first file on A6
is used. The *FIIŁ card is placed on A2 following the specifications, but
preceding the *sTOP card and the *ONLY card (if there is one). The *FII[OCRerr]
card must not appear in the middle of an [OCRerr]glish document, however, nor
between a [OCRerr]EXT, *FIND, or *LIKE card and the following document.
4.4. Relevance Jud[OCRerr]ent Data
After all documents are read, the next input card must have *SToP in
cols 1-5 and a blank in column 6. This card `mist occur e[OCRerr]ctly once on
[OCRerr] for each set of instructions, following all [OCRerr]glish and binary documents
(if any). It must also occur at the end of each set of documents on
