Punch A Verify Correction Card 21 - IBM 129 Description

PUNCH A VERIFY CORRECfION CARD
This procedure is used during verify mode operation to
punch a verify correction card after a verify record has been
corrected in input storage. The column indicator shows CC
for card correction:
1. Insert blank card at punch station. Card must not be
registered.
2. Press VER CORR.
The card is registered and punched with corrected data.
Only a 2-punch is punched in column 81 to signify that a
correction was made during verify operation. The error card
has no punches in column 81 and may be discarded. The
following card is fed and read; verification continues.
Note: If correction card punching is not desired, use FEED
or CLEAR, find continue verify operation. The FEED key
allows manual or auto dup in following record. The CLEAR
key prevents dup in following record. The error card is
stacked with no punches in column 81.
Once a rewrite has been done in verify mode or record
has been released, column 81 is not punched in original
card. If it is desired to have column 81 punched (because of
verify operator error, and card is correct as originally
punched), card must be inserted in hopper, fed, and then
verified without error.
ADD A PUNCH
To add a punch to an existing punched card, because
repunching (makeover) of original card is not desirable,
proceed as follows:
1. Operate CLEAR switch if card bed is not clear.
2. Set AUTO SKIP/DUP to OFF.
3. Set REC ADV/CARD FEED to MANUAL.
4. Set PRINT to ON/OFF, as desired.
5. Space or manually skip in input storage to desired
column.
6. Key only added character or characters. Use manual
alpha or numeric shift if shift of program level is not
known.
7. Press REL (column indicator advances to 00).
8. Register the existing punched card at punch station.
9. Set REC ADV/CARD FEED to AUTO.
The punched card will be "overpunched" with spaces in
all columns, and desired added punch( es) will be punched
in column(s) in which it was keyed.
An alternate procedure would be to data read a blank
card, manually dup to desired column, key the data,
release, and proceed to step 8.
