Additional Accumulate Program - IBM 129 Description

Program control of the accumulator uses the 4-, 5-,6-, 7-,
8-punches of the program card; accumulate control is active
only ir.. program levels 1 and 2 unless the "additional
accumulate program levels" feature
is
also installed, which
expands accumulate control to program levels 3-4-5-6.
Punchout, or punchout and reset, of individual accumula-
tors are under program control, and may be done selec-
tively. An accumulator can be programmed to punch out
into any field or fields, if desired. Only one accumulator
can punch at a time in any field. Group totals are normally
punched out via a different program level than the
accumulating program level. Maximum punchout field size
is 19 positions. Credit totals are punched with an II-punch
over the units position.
In verify mode, a field programmed for auto skip and
accumulate (II-punch and 5- or 6- or 7-punch) will
automatically accumulate from the card.
Minimum field size is two positions. Accumulate and self
check cannot be programmed in the same field. All
accumulators are reset to 0 when machine power is turned
off. (Not recommended for field installation.)
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATE PROGRAM
LEVELS
The accumulate feature
is
active only in program levels 1
and 2. The additional program levels feature provides the
ability
to
program accumulate functions in program levels
3-4-5-6.
Accumulate is a prerequisite for "Additional Accumulate
Program Levels." Additional levels may be field installed.
