Cumulative
or
Extended
Period Totals
If desired,
statistic
cards
can be
punched
out
for
each
batch,
application,
operator,
machine,
or
day,
as applicable.
Normal
totals are
by
batch;
however,
totals
by
day, or
other cumulative
segment
are possible.
The
user
is
respon-
sible
for
handling
any
overflow
situations that
may
result in
his totaling
procedures.
Note:
Totals
are reset
to zeros
when
power
is
turned
off,
therefore, totals
should be
punched
out before
turning
power
off.
Miscellaneous Considerations for the Production
Statistics
Feature
Punchout column
assignments
67-80 cannot be
altered.
Totals
are
not
identified as
punch
or
verify
mode.
User
may
include
this in his
indicative data,
if
desired.
If
punchout without
reset
is
done,
two
or
more
total
cards
could be punched.
The
only
difference
is
that
indicative
data keystrokes
in
columns 01-66
continue
to
count
in
the
keystroke
counter.
Thus,
one
total
card could
be
sent
with
the data cards to the next operation,
and one
retained
by
the operator, or the
total
card
could
be
given to
the
supervisor,
etc.
When
a
noncumulative batch
total
is
desired,
perform
punchout
with
reset
before
starting
the batch.
A
group of
statistics
total
cards
may
be
totaled
by
day,
by
operator,
by
week,
by
job,
etc.,
by
using the
accumulate
feature
to
add
the
appropriate information
during
a
separate
accumulate
operation.
programmed
numeric, because
the
accumulator
recognizes
only
the
lowest value
digit
of
the
numeric
portion
(0-9)
of
any
data
keyed.
A
minus
accumulate
occurs
if
an
1
1-punch
is
multipunched
in
the
units position, or
if
the
-LZ
key
is
used
for a
field
with
at least
one
leading zero.
A
minus
accumulate
also
occurs
if
duplication
is
done from
a
previous record
that
had
a
minus
field.
Any
total
carryover
beyond
position
14 maintains
a
valid
total
up
to
a
maximum
of 19
positions,
and
a
maximum
of
19 positions
may
be
punched
out.
Accumulate
arithmetic occurs
only
after
the
entire
record
has
been keyed
in
and
transferred to
output
storage;
therefore,
there
are
no
restrictions in
the use
of any
backspace
functions.
Punchout,
or
punchout and
reset,
of
individual
accumula-
tors at
the
end
of
a
group
or
batch
is
under program
control
in
punch mode, and
may
be
done
selectively.
Group
totals
are
normally
punched
out
via
a
different
program
level
than
the
accumulating
program
level.
Credit
totals
are
punched
out with an
1
1-punch
over the units
position.
(Note
that
1
1-0
does not
print, as
it is
not
a part
of
the 64-character
set;
11-1
through
11-9
prints as
J
through R,
respectively.)
Accumulating
data operates the
same
in verify
mode
as in
punch mode.
This allows only
verified data,
or
verify-
corrected data to
be accumulated,
and
thus
gives
a higher
accuracy of
results.
In
verify
mode,
automatic
verification
of
total fields
is
under machine-program
control.
Programming
of accumulate
is
standard
in
program
levels
1
and
2
only.
Program
levels
3,
4, 5,
and
6
can be
added
as
an
additional-capacity
special feature.
ACCUMULATE FEATURE
(This
feature
requires
the
expansion
feature
as a pre-
requisite.)
The
ability
to
accumulate
allows users to
balance
to a
predetermined
total,
or
to create a
hash
total for a
group of
cards,
or
batch of work. This
eliminates
secondary
operations
that
were
previously
required,
and
gives
real-
time
accuracy
control
in
the
entering
of
data.
The
accumulator
increases
the functional
capability
of
the data
recorder,
thereby producing
more
results
than
just
keyed
data
in
the
punched
card; for
example,
new
or
expanded
applications are
combined
with
card
punching and
veri-
fying.
Description
The
accumulate
feature
has
three 14-position, individual
accumulators
that
add
(under
program
control)
any
manually keyed,
manual
or auto
-duplicated
numeric
fields
into
any
assigned
accumulator.
The
maximum
size
of
the
input
field
is
14
positions;
the
minimum
size
is
2
positions;
the input
field
may
be
a left-zero
or
left-blank
field,
or
an
automatic
or
manual
dup
field.
The
field
should
be
Program
Control
The
accumulators operate under
program
card control
at
all
times.
Three accumulators
are
designated
as
A,
B,
and
C.
To
add
into
accumualator A,
program
a
5-punch
in
the
first
position
of
the
field,
followed
by
a normal
field
definition;
to
add
into
accumulator
B, use a 6-punch;
to
add
into
accumulator
C,
use
a
7-punch.
Any
field
can be
pro-
grammed
to
add
into any, or
all,
accumulators
by com-
bining the
5-
6-,
and 7-punch
in
the
first
position
of
the
field.
When
the
field
is
manually
keyed
or
manually
duplicated,
and
the record
is
completed
and
transferred to
output
storage,
the
programmed
accumulation
occurs. Fields pro-
grammed
for
accumulate
may
also
be
programmed
for
auto
duplication,
if
the data
is
a
duplication
from
record to
record.
Simply add
the
0-punch
to the
program
card,
and
set
the
AUTO
SKIP/DUP
switch
accordingly.
In
punch
mode
a
field
programmed
for
auto
skip
and
accumulate, accumulates
zeros.
When
programmed
for
auto
skip
and accumulate
in verify
mode,
the data
in
the
field
adds
into
the
accumulator
during
the auto-skip operation.
