Abstract

An on‐line serials control system with particular emphasis on storage and maintenance concepts is described. The system, operational since January, 1971, has evolved from a former batch card system and remains completely compatible with it. The system allows real‐time display and updating of all elements of the file. Consequently all check‐in, bindery, and claims operations, as well as new entries and data field changes are accomplished on a real‐time basis. All programs are in PL/1. Required equipment is an IBM time‐shared facility with 100 K memory available for the applications programs, and IBM 2260 display units. This article is the first of three. The second is concerned with an analysis of inverted file retrieval features and the third compares the operation of the on‐line with the batch system, comparable manual operations, and discusses costs.
