Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: CTS-500, Version 4, Commercial Transaction System
DESCRIPTION:
CTS-500 is a software system configuration designed
to support general purpose business-oriented data
processing applications for the DEC Datasystems 530,
560 and 570 series computer systems. CTS-SOO supports an environment of multiple and concurrent interactive data processing, user program development,
and batch mode operations activities. Up to 63 concurrent terminal users in both local and remote locations can interact with multiple application tasks.
Tasks can share computational, storage, and input/output services provided by the CTS-500 system.
CTS-500 consists of four basic, commercially oriented
bundled software packages. All of these include a data management file service system, the RSTS/E operating system, and SORT -11 utility. Specific contents
of each of these four software packages are as follows:
CTS-500 Level 2A (CTS-50012A) Includes the
RSTS/E Version 6C operating system and SORT-11
utility. (RSTS/E Version 6C includes the BASIC-PLUS
language processor and RMS-11 record management
services). Also included in CTS-500/2A are the DMS500 data management services package with single
key ISAM (indexed sequential access method) and
the related DMS-500 sort utility. The" BASIC-PLUS
language does not support the RMS-11 file organizations and record access modes. The SORT -11 utility
cannot sort DMS-500 ISAM files.
CTS-500 Level 28 (CTS-500128) Includes the
RSTS/E Version 6C operating system, SORT -11 utility, the DMS-500 data management services package,
and the DIBOL-11 business language processor and
DECFORM utility.
CTS-500 Level 3A (CTS-50013A) Includes the
HSTS/E Version 6C operating system, SORT -11 utility, the RMS-11 K multikey indexed sequential access
record management services, and the BASIC-PLUS-2
language processor.
CTS-500 Level 38 (CTS-500138) InCludes the
RSTS/E Version 6C operating system, SORT-11 utility, RMS-11 K record management services, the BASIC-PLUS-2 language processor, and the DI BOL-11
language processor and DECFORM utility.

These basic CTS-500 software packages are sold
and/or supported only with appropriate DEC Datasystem 500 series hardware systems.

the following main memory and mass storage requirements:
Main Memory Requirements
At least 128K bytes of main memory are required for

line. Operation of this device is not supported by
the CTS-500 terminal driver software.
2. The LA 180S must be handled as a spooled line
printer by the CTS-500 operating system.
3. No provision is made by either the software or
