// PRINTER NAME-PAYCHECK, FORMS-BUXX, DEVICE-P1,ALIGN-YES
The subconsole will now get this message when ready to print checks:
SYS-5825 OPTIONS (012 ) ALIGN THE FORMS IN PRINTER P1
By replying this message AFTER aligning the forms, the operator could be sure that the check information didn't print until the forms were properly aligned.

| | | | System/34 - F1 I1 S1-S3 and M1.01 - M2.10: Encyclopedia II - System/34 - How Spooling Works To allow the system to manage the problem, system components called "writers" and "spool files" were developed. A writer is a small system program that reads the spool file, matches a particular printer with a ready-to-print spool object, and begins sending instructions to the printer. It's a two-way process; the printer sends a signal back to the system when it is ready for more work. In order to avoid mixing up data from two spool files, the first report to finish and clo ...

How does a 64K computer program run on a S/34 when only 48K of RAM is available? By using a process called caching. The system uses a cache or workspace on the hard drive to contain portions of the programs currently running. Loading the whole program into the cache area and then moving it piecemeal in and out of storage was a system function performed by the CSP. The MSP performed the instructions in the computer program. Insufficient memory makes the system run slower, since the disk speed was only about as good in the 1980s as PC drives are today, and modern "burst mode" rates were u ...

Since the S/34 ran "8-bit" programs, the largest program that could be compiled and run was 64K. Most were not nearly that large. Since memory addresses were stored in 8 bits, a 64K program was often a giant monster RPG screen program with 3,000 lines of code, five or six files, and forty-odd array/table entries.

Therefore, forms numbers were created. A forms number is a one-to-four-character alphameric field that programs and operators use to straighten out this problem. Programmers use the PRINTER OCL statement as follows:
// PRINTER NAME-PAYCHECK, FORMS-BUXX, DEVICE-P1

Not really. You could create a short sequence of file and input specifications and store them as a source member. A component called Data File Utility could then be used to generate on-screen displays you could use to create and edit files and print reports. It was not quite the equal of say, Access 2002, but in twenty minutes flat you could design a file and a report, and that's not bad.

Basic was interpreted only; a compilation utility called BASICS created subroutine code (type R). Interestingly, Basic programs could be saved as sources for compatibility with other computers, but the project's text was nicely preserved in the subroutine (unless the clever programmer used the LOCK parameter to keep it private.)

The S/34 had four: RPG II, COBOL, BASIC, and FORTRAN. RPG was cheaper, created compact code sizes, and became the far-and-away best-seller. Cobol was very popular in the business community. Fortran just isn't very practical for data processing purposes, and while Basic was nice, it was implemented as an interactive 40K session. Teaching a Basic class and watching eight operators try to key in Basic programs ...

SSP provides for two different data objects called files and libraries. Files contain records, most always with a fixed record length. Libraries contain programs which can reference and access these files. SSP contained more than 60 different commands that allowed operators to create, delete, copy, edit/change, and secure files and libraries.

MRT = Multiple Requestor Terminal program. SSP could actually run one program on up to 7 terminals at once. The operator would start the program on a single terminal, then other terminals could join.
SRT = Single Requestor Terminal program. Not a MRT.
NRT = Non-Requestor Terminal program. Started at a terminal, the NRT releases the requesting terminal and continues. This is similar to an MS-DOS TSR (Terminate and Stay Resid ...

This looks like a DOS-era text editor. SEU allows data entry on a line-by-line basis. Special forms are used to assist the operator in keying RPG programs or other types of form-based languages (WSU, Sort, SDA, etc.)

Are words used interchangeably to describe the same thing. An operator sat in front of a device that vaguely resembles today's PC, except the monitor was small, expensive (US$2,000), low-resolution (24x80) and the available colors were green and bright green. (A special workstation called a "dual display" employed a system of mirrors and two users sat on either side of it with two keyboards... they were treated to 12x80 displays.)
