Any
accumulator
can be punched
out
by
program
control,
in
any
available
field
of
a
card.
Only
the
first
column
of
a
field
must be coded
in
the
program
card,
in
addition to
normal
field
definition coding.
Program
card
coding
for assigning
a
field
for
an accumulator
punchout
with
or
without
reset
is:

Punchout
fields
must
follow
all
input
factor
fields
if
punchout
is
done
in
the
same
card;
otherwise, the input
factors for that
card
are
not
included
in
the
total. If
punchout
is
in a
separate
total
card
that uses a separate
program
level,
the
punchout
field
may
be
in
any
location.
Punchout
is
active in
punch
mode
only.
Data
is
always
right-justified in
punchout, and
a
minus
total
is
indicated
by an
11
-punch
over the
units position,
showing
that the
field
is
minus.
If
the
total in
the
accumulator
is
larger
than
the
field
size
programmed
for
punchout,
the low-order
positions
punch and
the high-order positions
are
dropped.
Do
not
program accumulate and
self
check
in
the
same
field.
ADDITIONAL
ACCUMULATE PROGRAM
LEVELS
(SPECIAL
FEATURE)
The
accumulate
feature
is
active in
program
levels
1
and
2
only.
Program
levels
1,
2, 3, 4,
5,
and 6 (and
0)
remain
normal and
active in
the
basic
machine.
For
additional
program
capacity to
accumulate,
this
feature
may
be added
to
provide
programming
in
levels 3, 4, 5,
and
6.
This allows
more
flexibility
and
combinations of accumulating
and
total
punching.
Normal
switching
between
programs
is
permissible,
between
or within
records.
Punching Operations
Any
manual
numeric
field
can be
programmed
for
accumu-
late.
Skipping
is
valid
and
causes zeros to
be accumulated.
LZ
fields
are valid for
accumulate. In
numeric
shift,
the
LZ
key
causes a
left-zero
operation with the 11
-punch
over the
last digit
keyed,
resulting in a
minus
accumulation
(that
is,
subtraction).
For
full-field
conditions
(no
leading
zeros),
the
MULTPCH
key must be
used
to
minus
overpunch
the
units position.
Manual
or
automatic
duplica-
tion
is
valid for
an accumulate
field
entry.
An
input
field size
larger
than
14
positions
drops
the
high-order input
digits.
The
minimum
field size
for
accumu-
lator
entry or
total
punchout
is
two
positions.
Operation
is
normal
if
a
counter goes
from
plus to zero or
minus, or
vice
versa.
If
a
counter
overflows
beyond
position
14
the
overflow maintains
a
valid total
up
to
a
maximum
of 19
positions;
a
maximum
of 19
positions
may
be
punched
out.
The
dash (-)
key
in
alpha
shift
(except
in
the units
position) causes zero
accumulate
and
an 11-punch
in
the
card.
Use of
the
dash
(1 1)
key
only
in
the units position
of
accumulate
causes
an 11-punch
in
the card
and
a
minus
field,
and
a
zero
in
that position
of
the accumulator.
The
MULT
PCH
of
an overpunch
11 for a
minus
field
is
valid
only
in
the
units position; in
any
other
position,
an
1
and multipunch
digit
adds
the
digit
but does not cause
minus
accumulation. {Note:
If
more
than
a
single
digit,
0-9,
is
keyed
using
multipunch, only
the lowest value
digit
enters
the
accumulator.)
Amounts
cannot be
entered
in
an accumulator
via
a
data
read
operation,
but only
by
a
keying
or duplicating
operation.
If
pre-amounts
are
entered
into
the
accumula-
tors,
these
amounts
should be
keyed
in
the
first
card or
duplicated
from
a previous record;
then keying of the
regular
batch
or
group
follows.
During
keying,
fields
programmed
for
total
punchout
are
skipped automatically
in
input
storage. If
a
total
punchout
is
programmed
in
the
first
column
of
a record,
and
a
record
backspace
is
done, the
total
punchout
auto
skip
in
storage
occurs.
If
the
first
column
is
programmed
with
regular
auto
dup
or
auto
skip,
and
a
record
backspace
is
done, the
column
indicator stops
in
column
01,
and
the
auto
skip
or
auto
dup
does not
occur.
Totals
cannot be
transferred directly
from one
accumula-
tor to another.
A
single field
can be
added
to
any
or
all
accumulators during
input,
but
only
a
single
accumulator
may
be
punched
into a
field.
Minus
totals
are identified
by
an
1
1-punch
over the units position
digit.
Verifying
Operations
All
accumulate
operations
are
the
same
in
the
verify
and
punch modes,
except
that
only
verify-correct
fields
are
accumulated.
If
a
card
is
not
verified
properly, or
bypassed,
no
accumulate
occurs.
During
verification,
those
fields
on
a
completed
card
that
are
programmed
for
punchout,
or
punchout and
reset,
automatically
compare
to the
existing
contents
of the
appropriate accumulators.
Manual
verification
of
that
total
is
not
possible
if
the
field
is
programmed
for
total
punchout.
If
manual
verify
is
desired,
do not program
for
punchout.
If
there
is
no
difference
between
the
read-in totals
and
verify
accumulated
totals,
operation continues,
and
the
totals
card
is
OK-verify
punched
(2-punch and 3-punch)
in
column
81.
If
there
is
a
discrepancy
between any
read-in
totals
and
the
verify
accumulated
totals,
a
keyboard lockup
occurs
in
column
8
1
,
and
the
column
indicator displays
AC,
denoting
an accumulator
correction
is
necessary.
The
normal
verify-correct
procedure of
inserting a
blank card
and
pressing
VER CORR
causes the current
verify
accumu-
lator totals
to
be
punched
in
the correction
card.
The
new
totals
card
has
the
normal
verify-correction
punch
