Selective Inquiry System (SIS). Operation Manual and Users Manual

Abstract

The Selective Inquiry System (SIS) is a generalized retrieval system designed for the reporting of data from single or multiple files in a batch environment. Input files may be sequential or indexed sequential. Data can be sorted on up to 20 keys prior to producing the report. A subsystem, TRS, is available for use through the facilities of the timesharing executive of the operating system. This manual establishes procedures for utilization of the Selective Inquiry System (SIS) and the Timesharing Retrieval Subsystem (TRS) on the H6000 computer. It applies to all functional user personnel who have a requirement for batch and/or online retrievals from data bases resident on the H6000 computer. The information in this manual is used in conjunction with the Computer Directed Training System (CDTS) course designed to teach the use of SIS.
