LAIRS CODING MANUAL

Abstract

THE Land-Air Integrated Reduction System (LAIRS) is a production-oriented system for the reduction of scientific data, designed for the IBM 709-7090 computers. The system essentially consists of three parts; a library of subprograms, or data processors, in absolute binary form; input, consisting of control information and data to be processed; and a monitor, which analyzes the control information, makes tape assignments, calls the subprograms as specified in the control cards, and handles input/output as requested by the subprograms. The LAIRS Coder's job is to analyze the request for data reduction, prepare the LAIRS Control Cards, LAIRS Subprogram Cards, ETC Cards, ENDJOB, ENDRUN and HEADER Cards as required, perform a desk check of his work, and assemble the job for the machine room. The specifications for card formats, preliminary and final coding, desk check, restart procedure are given. Working forms, flow charts, and a LAIRS Coder's Guide Sheet are included. (Author)
