SAMPLE PLANNING
FORM
A
planning form,
usable
as
an
aid in
the preparation of job
formats
and program
cards,
is
available,
image-imprinted
on
the reverse side
of
the
IBM
1
29 Card Punching or Verifying
Instructions,
GX22-6977,
as
shown
(in
part)
in
Figure
18.
The form
has
a
card layout which has
1
2 rows of
column
numbers, each row
located
in a
punching
position.
The
program
codes
are detailed in
the chart
on
the
reverse side
of
the
form.
After laying out the
job format on
the front
of
the
form,
according to desired field
sizes,
functions,
and
special
instructions, etc.,
mark
the planning card for the
program
codes necessary
to
perform the functions
in
each column.
For example:
if
columns
1-10
are a field
representing
"account
number" draw
a
line
through
the 12-punches
in
columns
2-10,
because the
first
column
of
a field
does not
have
a
1
2-punch.
If
the
account
number
is
to
be punched
as
a
self-checking
number, mark
the
2-punch
in
columns
01
and
10,
which
is
the
program coding
for
a
self-checking
number
field.
If
columns 11-35
are a
name
field,
draw
a line
through
the
12-punches
in
columns
12-35, for
field definition.
Then
draw
a line
through
the
1
-punches
for
columns 11-35,
because alpha-program coding
is
necessary for every
column
in the
alpha
field.
All the
program codes
are
shown
in
Figure
18,
with notes
concerning
their use.
When
the
program
card
is
completed
on
the
planning form, check your work, then
punch
the
necessary
codes
in
the appropriate card
columns of
a
blank
card,
using the
IBM
129
in
punch mode. Use
the
MULT
PCH
key
procedure
for
combinations of punches not
represented
by
a
single
key.
After the
program
card
is
punched, check
it
by
laying
it
over the planning
card.
The
markings
on
the planning card
should
be
visible
through the holes
in
the
punched program
card.
Additional copies of the
program
card
may
be
made
by
a
normal
card-duplication operation.
Note
that
any
codes not
in
the 64-character
set
do
not
print.
