Project Note No 15: Description of listing for FR80 Operators

J R Gallop

8 April 1975

This is a description of the lineprinter output that the SPOOL program produces for the FR80 operators. The lineprinter output is kept in a file FR80LISTING in user :GSIN11 until the following job begins, as well as being listed.

In several cases, the graphics package could produce information in a similar form.

All dates are in the style dd/mm/yy and times of day are in the style hh/mm. The seconds field is omitted since it is not useful and its absence helps to distinguish date from time quickly.

1. BEFORE THE FIRST JOB

  1. A top page with the banner
                       FR80 TAPE 
    
                         SPOOL 
    
    to ensure that the listing reaches the FR8O operators.
  2. OUTPUT OF SPOOLED FR80 30BS TO TAPE ON date AT time FROM DISC AREA discname
  3. CAMERA IS cameraname
    where cameraname can be:
       8020 COMBINED   16MM/COLOUR   
       8020 COMBINED   16MM/B&W   
       8020 COMBINED   35MM/COLOUR   
       8020 COMBINED   35MM/B&W   
       8021 16MM PRECISION   
       8032 MICROFICHE     
       8060 HARDCOPY   (1-UP ONLY)   
       8060 HARDCOPY   (MANY-UP ONLY)   
    or 8060 HARDCOPY  
    
  4. MAGNETIC TAPE SERIAL NUMBER IS number----NAME IS tape-local-name
  5. FIRST USER'S DATA IS PRECEDED BY A 1906A HEADER LABEL AND 1 FILEMARK

Information from (2) onwards starts in column 1.

2. FOR EACH JOB

  1. Two lines of *'s and -'s to visually divide one job from the previous one.
  2. OUTPUT FOR USER username.jobname
  3. Database information in column 45 onwards
  4. JOB BEGUN IN 1906A ON date AT time
  5. Information from (5) onwards starts in column 5.
  6. Information from (5) onwards starts in column 5.
    GRAPHICS PACKAGE IS packagename
    where packaqename can be:
    SMOG  SPROGS or GROATS 
    
    Equals signs from (6) onwards until (10) should be aligned vertically.
  7. NUMBER OF RECORDS COPIED TO TAPE (INCLUDING HEADERS) = number
    where number includes Load and Go records for the job and accounting records, but does not include filemarks
  8. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF FILTER CHANGES IN ANY FRAME = number
    Only printed if camera is CL16 or CL35. A job using an excessive number of filter changes may be suppressed by the operators
  9. NUMBER OF SUBFRAMES = number
    Only printed if camera is MFCH or HCM
  10. NUMBER OF FRAMES = number
  11. NUMBER OF FEET OF SPROCKETED FILM= number
    Only printed if 16mm or 35mm. Number of feet= number of frames/x where x = 40 for 16mm and 16 for 35mm
    Information from ( 11) onwards starts in column 1.
  12. FR80 PROGRAM REQUIRED IS----FR80 DISPLAYER progname
    where progname can be:
    FMFO
    FMFC 
    FRFO 
    FRFC 
    FCFO 
    FGFC 
    
  13. DATA FOR THIS JOB INCLUDES number SINGLE FILEMARKS (INCLUDING THE FILEMARK FOLLOWING THE DATA)

3. AFTER LAST JOB

  1. Repeat Section 2 (1)
  2. END OF DATA FOR CAMERA cameraname
    where cameraname is described in Section 1 (3).
  3. NUMBER OF JOBS COPIED TO TAPE= number
    Items (1), (2), (3) are single spaced.
  4. TOTALS
  5. Totals for items (6), (8), (9), (10) "for each job" are printed; (8) only if camera is MFCH or HCM. (10) only if camera is 16mm or 35mm
  6. Repeat Section 2 (1)

4. A SAMPLE PRINTOUT

A sample of lineprinter output follows. Note that the number of subframes is not printed because the camera is not fiche or hardcopy-many-up.
