program support, besidesan input/output facility, is necessary
to operate a data
processing system effectively, even one without Jelecommunications. For example,
control programs are required to load and execute programs from a disk library,
to
access data files. and to communicate with the operator.
A system with telecommunications requires more flexible program support tnan a
system which performs jobs one at a time under control of one system operator.
The effectiveness a communications-based
of system stems from its ability to per-
form work presented,as required, by a number of operators at terminals. Operators
are seldom aware of what other operators are doing; they may be in separaterooms,
or in separatecities. Each request demands that a certain program be executed.
Frequently a request arriveswhile the system is still attempting to satisfy previous
requestsfrom other operators; the new request must be remembered and honored
at the earliest possiblemoment. The system should be designedin such a way that
it can execute severalprograms concurrently. In this way, the system will respond
quickly to many operator,s requests.

Program support of these capabilitieshas existed for some time on larger
computers,

ccP does control the environment in which those programs must run, and it provides
a set of servicesupon which they can call. This relievesyou of most of the special
requirements i n establishin g a comm un ications-based
system.
Some of the control program servicesperformed by the communications control
program are:
Terminal Monitoring - The terminals of the system are monitored for program

and the user so specifies,severalapplication programs for different terminals may be

Disk File AccessManagement - ln a system where several programs execute concur-
rently, access disk files may be shared among those programs. The communica-

How the Operator Requests System Services
while monitoring for program requests,the communications control program can
also respond to commands to perform servicesfor the terminal.

Once the operator of a terminal has specified one of these system responses,
the CCP
handlesall program requestsfrom that terminal accordingly until the operator gives
the other specification.

an application program, however, the input from that terminal is meaningful only
to the application program, with one exception. The CCP checks each message from
a terminal to a program for the appearanceof a certain string of characters,specified
to be significant in your system. When it detects the presenceof these charactersin
a message, the CCP interprets the message an attempt by the terminal operator to
as
escapefrom control of the application program and communicate directly with the
CCP' At this point, the communications control program acceptsa request from the
operator to cancel the execution of the application program, or to send a message to
the system operator. lf the requestwas to send a message, the terminal operator can
ask the CCP to resumeexecution of the application program after the message sent. is

Messages
The system operator can receive messages
from the communications control pro-
gram or from an application program. The CCP prefixes each message
with the
identification of the program that issuedit. Messages which require a reply from
the operator are further prefixed with the indication that a reply is required.
Among the messages the system operator which require reply are halt codes. In
to
a system with severalapplication programs operating concurrently. a halt issuedfor
one program causesonly that program to suspendoperations until a responseis
supplied. The communications control program and other application programs
under its control continue to operate.

communications. That is, the statementsused to processdata and the handling of
data files are identical. The standard disk data management methods are supported
by the control program. Only two elements are likely to differ significantly:
o The overall design of the program.
o The statementsused to communicate with terminals or with the system operator.
ProgramDesign
lf you currently use a data processingsystem without telecommunications. many
programs in your system operate upon a long seriesof transactions- hundreds or
perhapsthousands. The data from those transactionsprobably updates a single
disk file. Once started, such a program processes the transactions before it is
all
finished. of course, the transactionsrepresentedby the data actually happened
earlier in the day, week, or month. The data is collected into a batch before it is
used to update the files of the system. When they have been updated, the files
contain information reflecting the state of your organization'saffairs as of the last
transaction in the batch.
It is also possibleto design programs that use the batch processingmethod to advan-
tage in a communications-based system. lf a terminal is located where transactions
are occurring and if data is entered regardingthe transactionsas they occur, the
system can reflect the current status of your organization.
Batch processingrequiresthat the terminal be dedicated to input of one kind, or
severalclosely related kinds, of transaction data. Frequently, however, during a
p e r i o d o f t i m e , a t e r m i n a l i s u s e dt o i n q u i r e i n t o i n f o r m a t i o n c o n t a i n e d i n a n u m b e r
of files, or to enter data concerning transactionsof many different types affecting
severaldifferent files. In these cases,it is unlikely that the terminal would be served
for any length of time by a single program. In fact, each program may be written to
p r o c e s s o m p l e t e l y o n l y a s i n g l et r a n s a c t i o no r i n q u i r y f r o m t h e t e r m i n a l , t h e n t e r -

o
involve this kind of processing,therefore, programs are required to update all files
affected by a transaction, but handle only a single transaction per execution. This
certainly implies a program design different from that for a batch-oriented svstem.

act with terminals.
Since there are no statements in the languages specify terminal actions, the appli-
to
cation program indicates those actions to the communications control program by
means of one of the following statements.each of which causesa Drancn to a sup-
plied subroutine:

Each of these statements is accompanied by parametersto indicate the specificsfor
the operation.

Those specificsinclude the following information necessary
to control the terminal
action requested:
o The operation desired.
o The length of the message be sent, or
to the maximum rength of a message be
to
received.

Previousdiscussionmay have implied that an application program communicates
only with the terminal that requestedit. In fact, most communication by programs

chosen by the user; the name normally appliesto one particular terminal. However,

Any program addressing terminal by the reassigned
a name addresses the new termi-
nal. For the most part, the application program need not be concerned with the
type of terminalwith which it is communicatino.

The communications control program feature of disk system management,like disk
system managementitself. can be tailored to suit your processingrequirements.
when you receivethe communications control program, you must first generatea
disk system for your installation if you have not already done so. At that point,
you are ready to tailor a communications control program according to number
