Preface

Manual Objectives
The RSX-IIM-PLUS Information Directory and Master Index introduces the RSX-IIM-PLUS
documentation set. It describes all the RSX-IIM-PLUS manuals and contains a Master Index
that is useful for referring to topics described in manuals in the documentation set. The
descriptions of the manuals are intentionally brief; refer to the prefaces of individual manuals
for additional information. Read the Information Directory before you read other manuals in
the documentation set or use the system.

Intended Audience
The RSX-llM-PLUS Information Directory and Master Index is intended for all users of the
RSX-IIM-PLUS operating system. No previous knowledge of the system is required.

Structure of This Document
The first chapter of this manual brietly describes the manuals in the documentation set. It
identifies the type of users that are likely to be interested in particular manuals, and it suggests
a sequence for reading the manuals. The second chapter of this manual contains a Master Index
which includes index entries for all the manuals in the documentation set.

Associated Documents
The next manual you should read in this documentation set is the RSX-IIM-PLUS Release Notes,
which will give you important information on the RSX-llM-PLUS software and documentation.

Chapter 1
Overview of the RSX-ll M-PLUS Documentation Set
1. 1 Getting Started
Your kit contains an RSX-IIM-PLUS baseline system that is ready to run on your PDP-II
processor. You will use this baseline system to generate an RSX-IIM-PLUS system, tailored
to your own particular hardware and software requirements.
Before beginning system generation, you should become familiar with your RSX-IIM-PLUS
hardware configuration and with this documentation set, and you should thoroughly read the
RSX-IIM-PLUS Release Notes and the RSX-IIM-PLUS System Generation and Installation Guide.
You will then be prepared to choose among the options offered during system generation.
Figure 1-1 outlines a suggested sequence for reading the manuals in your documentation set.
The sequence begins with introductory and more general manuals and proceeds to advanced
manuals that assume a greater understanding of the system.

1.4.8 Volume 8: PDP-ll Record Management Services
This volume is composed of a set of manuals that describes the PDP-II Record Management
Services (RMS-II). For information on where the RMS-II files and utilities can be found on
the RSX-IIM-PLUS distribution kit, see the RSX-llM-PLUS System Generation and Installation
Guide.

1.4.8. 1 RSX-11 M/M-PLUS RMS-11: An Introduction
This manual introduces the major concepts of RMS-II: record formats, file organizations, and
record access modes. It introduces the RMS-II operations and utility programs, and it defines
the key terms necessary to understand RMS-II capabilities and functions.
The manual is intended for all users of RMS-Il, including both MACRO-II and highlevel language programmers. Nonprogramming users, programming users who are new to
RSX-I1M-PLUS, and RSX-I1M-PLUS programmers who are new to RMS-I1 should find this
document especially useful.
The manual does not provide reference or usage information. You should read this manual
before reading the other RMS-ll manuals.

1.4.8.2 RSX-l1 M/M-PLUS RMS-ll User's Guide
This manual is a guide to using RMS-II in file and task design for application programs written
in either MACRO-II or high-level languages. It is intended for application programmers who
want to achieve optimal performance either with a new application they are writing or with an
existing application that no longer performs satisfactorily.
The manual first presents general design considerations to help users select the appropriate file
organization for their applications. Then the details of file structure, design, and processing are
discussed for each of the three RMS-II file organizations: sequential, relative, and indexed.
Finally, the manual describes techniques that can be used to optimize application program
performance, regardless of file organization.
Note that only MACRO-II programmers can use the full set of RMS-II capabilities. Subsets
of those capabilities are available to high-level language programmers. Programmers who are
writing applications in high-level languages should consult their language documentation for
details on RMS-II support.

1.4.8.3 RSX-11 M/M-PLUS RMS-11 Utilities
This reference manual describes the utility programs supported by RMS-ll. It is intended for
users such as high-level language programmers and non programming users (system managers
and operators, for example), who either do not require or do not have access to the full set of
RMS-ll capabilities.
The RMS-ll utility programs are the following:
•

RMS-II File Design Utility (RMSDES)-An interactive utility for designing and creating
sequential, relative, and indexed files.

•

RMS-II Indexed File Load Utility (RMSIFL)-Reads records from an RMS-ll file of any
kind of organization and loads them into an indexed file, optimizing all indexes, both
primary anJ alternates (if any).

•

RMS-ll File Conversion Utility (RMSCNV)-Reads records from an RMS-ll file of any
organization and loads them into another RMS-ll file of any organization. Note th~t
RMSCNV, unlike RMSIFL, optimizes only the primary index when it loads an indexed file.

•

RMS-II File Display Utility (RMSDSP)-Produces a concise description of any RMS-ll
file, including backup files.

•

RMS-II File Back-Up Utility (RMSBCK)-Transfers the contents of an RMS-Il file to
another file, on another device, to preserve it in case the original file is lost or damaged.

•

RMS-II File Restoration Utility (RMSRST)-Restores files that were backed up by RMSBCK,
so that they can be accessed by user programs.

The manual also documents RMSDEF, which has been superseded by RMSDES.

1.4.8.4 RSX-11 M/M-PLUS RMS-11 Macro Programmer's Guide
This document is a reference manual describing the macros and symbols that make up the
interface between a MACRO-II program and the RMS-I1 operation routines. It is intended
for both MACRO-II programmers and high-level language programmers who want to use the
full set of RMS-II capabilities in a MACRO-II subprogram.
The manual presents such programming considerations as how to use RMS-II macros and
symbols in a MACRO-II program, how to use the directory and file operations to process
directories and files, and how to use the stream operations and record or block operations to
process records or blocks. Detailed reference information is provided on each RMS-II operation
macro, the control blocks it uses, the options that can be specified in each control block field,
and the values returned in control block fields. A summary of each control block, field, value,
and mask is also provided.
In addition, the manual describes the RMS-II completion codes, fatal error codes, and assemblytime messages.
