STANDALONE PROGRAM LOADING
Standalone programs do not need the diagnostic control
program (DCP). Therefore, each one is run as a separate
program. A standalone program uses only one partition
(7.25K bytes).
The.following standalone programs are available on
diagnostic diskette 1:

* These programs must be selected after loading PGM LOAD.
To run the test:
1. Load PGM LOAD from diagnostic diskette 1.
2. Select option.

The twinaxial printer interface test (TPRNT) and the diskeU
surface analysis program (TMEDIA) are also on the verifica-
tion diskette.
You can load a standalone program from either the load
prompt displayed by the diagnostic diskette (prompt 50 00)
or the user IPL program diskette (prompt 05 00). If you use
the user IPL program diskette load prompt, check with the
user to ensure that the partition is 7.25K bytes or larger.
Make sure the test you are going to run will not interfere
with other jobs running in the system.
1. To load a standalone program, use one of the load
prompts.

Insert diagnostic diskette 1 into one of the diskette
drives.
Enter the program name from the preceding list.
Press the field Exit key.
Enter the address of the diskette drive that contains
diagnostic diskette 1. You can leave blank the parti-
tion number assigned to the keyboard y,ou are using.
If you use a different keyboard, you must enter
the partition number assigned to that keyboard.
Press the Enter key to load the program.
