A Hollerith output file is a series of Hollerith source decks. When COSY
encounters ENDCOSY /,
it writes FINIS and end-of-file records on the
Hollerith output file specified on the last DECK/ card. COSY then rewinds
the file or positions it to block one, ready for subsequent assembly or
compilation. The Standard Hollerith Output file (SHO) is also positioned to
block one. Blocked format of 1280 characters allows
15
Hollerith cards on
one block.
COSY reserves dsi COSY as a scratch unit for corrections. This system-
allocated file is used only
if
an excessive number of update records causes
internal table overflow.
The user should not use the dsi COSY for any other file, since all information
intended for this user file is placed on the COSY scratch file.
