Software Product Description
P,RODUCT NAME: CTS-300, Version 6.0
Commercial TransacUon System-300

DESCRIPTION:
CTS-300 is a disk based single-user/multiuser system
designed to support commercial applications on small
PDP~11 based DEC Datasystems or equivalent
configurations.CTS-300 applications are written in
DIBOL, DIGITAL's own Business Oriented High-level
Language. OIBOL is similar to COBOL in that it has a
Data Division and a Procedure Division, but OIBOL is a
more concise language. DIBOL provides the application programmer with the ability to do data manipula'tion, arithmetic expression evaluation, table subscripting, record redefinition, external calls to other
programs, spooling, sequential and random access,
and indexed access to files. 'Exception conditions
cause control to transfer to a user-specified statement
'where the cause of the condition can be determined.
The following table illustrates the user/job capacity
versus minimum configurations under each of the
Datasystems:

Num.ber of users

Although'12 users is the stated limit, most application
environments'should use caution beyond the eighth
user, because terminal response time is likely to
degrade as more users are added to the system. Particular care needs to be exercised with program size,
overlay technique, file size and layout, etc.
CTS-300 is also available in fully supported mode only
on other equivalently configured systems that meet
minimum requirements.
CTS-300 is a packaged software system consisting of
the RT-11 operating system, achoiceofthree run-time
systems, and a number of utilities. Since RT -11 is
included in this package, a CTS-300 licensee can order
any RT -11 dependent product without reordering a
specific license for RT -11.

Although CTS-300is a layered product, it should be
noted that DIBOL will notrunconcurrently with other
languages.
Run- Time Systems (RTS)

SUD ~ Single-user DIBOL RTS allows one DIBOL
u~er or job to'berun on a system. It is designed for an
entry level system running in 32K bytes of memory.
SUD runs on all RT -,11 monitors {SJ, FB, XM}. SUD also
runs as the background job in the FB monitor with a
line printer spooler running in the foreground. Control
returns to the monitor upon completion of the SUD
program.
TSD - Time Shared DIBOL RTS allows 1 to 4 DIBOL
users or jobs torun simultaneously. It is designed for a
medium-sized system running in 56K bytes of memory.
FHe sharing facilities at tre record level permit multiple
users to shareand update the same data files. TSO is an
executive that normally is run on an SJ monitor SYSGENed formultiterminalsupport. TSD controls loading of OIElOL programs: allocation and recovery of
memory fo~ DIBOL programs, program scheduling,
detached programs, file-sharing, r~cord 1/0, intertask
communicati"on, as well as other less visible functions.
A DIBOL line printer spooler also runs in the TSD
environment. Program completion, or the detaching of
a program returnsco'ntrol to the TSD executive.
XMTSD - Extended Memory TSD RTS allows 1 to 12
DIBOL users or 1 to 16 DIBOL jobs torunsimultaneously {up to 12 CQuid be attached to terminals with the
remainder running in a det~ched environment}. Designed for larger systems running in 128K to 248K
bytes of memory using the XM ,monitor, XMTSD has
the same features and capability found in :rSD. In addition, XMTSD offers multiuser program development.
When XMTSDis loaded in the foreground of the XM
monitor, the i:>ackground'is reserved for queuing and
executing indirect command files. These files can contain compi,le and li.nk in~tructions. Programs can be
created and modified by runnihg a'CRT oriented editor
called OKED, that executes as a OIBOL job. More than
one copy of DKED can run concur,rently.
NOTE: Relinking is required when changing from SUO
to TSD orXMTSD or vice versa.

.. 2C TS-300 Utility Programs
CTSGEN - The CTS-300 Generator Program is an
interactive DIBOl-11 utility program that tailors the
system to a user's needs. It can create a SUD, TSD or
XMTSD RTS to match the specific hardware and software of the installation. Through CTSGEN a user specifies such items as the total number of terminals, jobs,
messages, and files open at one time. Support for DDT
and forced job start-up are also among the choices
available.

• CREATE is used to create a new ISAM file. Options
are provided to create an empty ISAM file, or convert a sequential file to an ISAM file. The CREATE
function can be carried out without· operator
intervention.

DDT - The DIBOl Debugging Technique is a system
utility that allows for user/programmer interaction with
a DIBOl program while it is executing. Using DDT, a
programmer can set predetermined stopping points to
halt the program, examine and/or alter the contents of
variables, and trace through lines of a 01 BOl program.
These features allow a programmer to locate prob ...
lems, correct data values, and test any programming
errors directly, before reediting and recompiling.

• REORGANIZE is used to reorganize an ISAM file for
more efficient operation. It is used when most of the
groups in the file are filled and the overflow area or
append area is filled. The effect of REORG is to
redistribute the records of the file so it appears to be
a newly created file.

DECFORM ~ The DECFORM Data Entry utility is a
program generator that processes screen format directives and produces a DIBOl program that, when compiled and executed, performs specified data entry
functions. In addition to defining screen formats, autoduplication, alphabetic or decimal checking, range
checking, field totaling, cross-field validation, and
auto-increment characteristics, DECFORM makes
possible additions, inquiries, changes, and verifications to sequentially ordered files or Indexed Sequential Access Method (ISAM) files. Deletions are possible
only with ISAM files. DECFORM is primarily a tool to
facilitate and reduce program development efforts. Its
major use is in data file creation, modification and
inquiry.
DKED - Is a version of RT-11 's keyboard editor (K52)
that runs as a job only under XMTSD. It is a text editor,
designed to run in VT52 mode on a VT52 or VT100, and
is used to create and modify ASCII text files.
DICOMP - DICOMP is the DIBOl compiler. It trans.,.
lates DIBOl source programs into interpretive code
that, when linked, can be executed by the three RTS.

• STATUS provides a concise view of the current
structure of the file: length of keys, records, and
groups, levels of indexing, and. information about
the use of load exclusion and overflow areas in the
data file.

lPTSPl - The Line Printer Spooler is a utility program that prints data files and program source files. In
response to an lPQU E statement, the spooler program
receives information on the file to be printed. The
spooler queues the file and begins to print it when the
line printer is available. In the SUD RTS, the spooler
outputs to one line printer. In the TSD and SMTSD
RTS, the spooler is a DIBOl program consisting of a
queue manager and four satellite programs that output
to as many as four line printers.
SORT/MERGE - The SORT/MERGE utility permits
the user to define the parameters for the sorting and/or
merging of data files. A DIBOl program is then generated by the system to perform the required sort and/or
, merge. The user can specify up to eight key fields to
control the ordering of the output records, in either
ascending or descending sequence. A wide range of
operating parameters, such as the number of work files
to be used, is provided to enable the user to achieve
maximum sort efficiency.
STATUS - The job and system state program, STATUS, retrieves and displays information about the TSD
or XMTSD RTS. STATUS passes the information listed
below to a line printer or a terminal:
•
•
•
•
•
•

Available free core
List of active jobs
Detailed information of a specified active job
Detailed information of pending messages
List of pending line printer jobs
Characteristics of the current RTS

DMS-300 - Data Management Services provide
capabilities for handling sequential, random, or keyed
records in files. Records in an ISAM file can be keyed
by a symbolic value. OMS-300 also supports file sharing and multivolume files. Sequential and random file
processing are standard in every RTS. ISAM is an
option. OIBOl has specia/language statements to use
these file access methods effiCiently.

MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIRED:

ISMUTl - ISAM files are created and maintained by
means of the ISAM Utility Program. Its three major
functions are CREATE, STATUS, and REORGANIZE.

CTS-300 is intended to run primarily on DEC Datasystem 150s and 300s; it will operate, however, on other
similarly configured hardware with the following
minimum:
• A VT05, VT50H, VT52, VT100, or lA36 console terminal. A VT50H, VT52, or VT100 terminal (in VT52
mode) is required for use with DECFORM, ISMUTl,
STATUS utilities
