Transaction Group Table (Figure 33); Transaction List Table (Figure 34) - IBM 2790 Manual

Number of Data Entry Units A ttached
Enter the number of data entry units that the area station
is equipped to attach; permissible numbers are 8, 16,24,
or 32.

Transaction Group Table (Figure 33)

Group Name
Enter the transaction group name (up to eight characters)
from Figure 32.
Transaction iD
Code. The preprinted numbers 1 through 9 represent the
nine transaction selection keys on the 2791 or the upper
left-hand dial on the data entry units.
Transaction Name. Enter the transaction name (up to
eight characters).
Transaction Expansion Identification
Any one or all nine transaction selection codes may be
expanded to provide up to 81 transactions. If a transac­
tion code is to be expanded, enter the names of the trans­
actions in the proper space.

Transaction List Table (Figure 34)

Transaction Group Name
Enter the transaction group name from Figure 33 for
reference purposes.
Transaction Name
Enter the transaction name (up to eight characters) from

Route
Disk. If the transaction is to be stored on disk for batch
transfer to the System/360, check this column.
CPU. If the transaction is to transferred to the System/360
directly without going to disk, check this column. (Disk
or CPU may be specified but not both.)
2740. If the transaction is to be printed on the 2740,
check this column. (The transaction may be routed to
disk or CPU and 2740, or to the 2740 alone.)
64
1053 Printer
If the transaction is to be printed at an area station, several
choices are available:
Selected Address. If the printed message may go to one of
several printers and the area station address is to be entered
by the operator, check this column.
Fixed Address. If the printed message will always go to
the same printer, enter the area station address; permissible
addresses are 00-99.
Stored Text. If the printed message is to contain fixed
text (stored), check this column and enter the text to be
stored in the last (message text) column.
Transaction List Number
Each transaction must have a number by which it is
identified during CPU processing. Permissible numbers are
0- 127. Numbers need not be consecutive, but must be
unique and ascending. (If the system configuration includes
1035 Badge Readers, the first transaction list number must
be assigned to the 1035 transaction.)
A S or D EU List
Area stations and data entry units have separate transac­
tions lists. This column is used to specify which list.
input Device (Area Stations Only)
Code. This column specifies which input media (B— Badge;
C-Card; M— Manually Keyed Data; O— Digital Device) is
to be read for this particular entry.
Guidance. Enter the guidance light to be used for operator
instruction for this data entry. Permissible numbers are
1- 31.
Length Check (Area Stations and Data Entry Units)
Length. This column specifies the length of the data entry.
The length may be from 1 to 81 columns. (See Figure 35.)
Guidance. Enter the guidance light to be used for operator
instructions in case the length is not correct.
Digit Check (Area Stations and Data Entry Units)
Position. A digit may be checked in any one of the first
15 columns of the record. Permissible numbers are
1 through 15. (The first digit of the record in some cases
