Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: BASIC-PLUS-2/RMS-11 K for CTS-500, Version 1.5
DESCRIPTION:
BASIC-PLUS-2/RMS-11 K is a software configuration
option for the DEC Datasystems 530 and 570 series
computer systems nmning CTS:"500. The package includes the· BASIC~PLUS-2 (Version 1.5) language processor and the RMS-11 K (Version 1.5) multikey indexed access data management services. The package is an option for the CTS-500 Level 2A and 2B
systems.
The BASIC-PLUS-2 language is a superset of
Dartmouth BASIC. In addition to the elementary BASIC statements, BASIC-PLUS-2 also features:
• Terminal-format files
• Virtual arrays
• RMS Record I/O
• Extensive string support
• Full matrix package
• Long variable names
• IF .. THEN .. ELSE
• ON ERROR condition handlers
• Statement modifiers: IF, WHILE, UNLESS, FOR
• User-defined functions
• Multi-statement lines
• Multi-line statements

file organizations. RMS-11 K features also include primary and alternate keys, fixed and variable length
records, and record mapping.
RMS-11 K provides keyed access record management
services for the CrS-500 system. RMS-11K is
comprised of a set of run-time service routines and
utility programs that enable keyed access data files,
including multi-key ISAM, to be defined, populated,
updated and maintained on direct access storage devices. Once established, application programs retrieve, mOdify, or store logical data records by using
key field reference values. RMS-11 K run-time service
routines provide all necessary access. control, data
buffering, record blocking/deblocking, and file structure maintenance. Additional utility program functions
allow data files to be logically moved, copied, and
restored from one storage device to alternate logical
or physical storage devices.
MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIRED:
Any valid CTS-500, level 3A or 3B, system configuration.
OPTIONAL HARDWARE:
None
. PREREQUISITE SOFTWARE:
CTS-500, Version 4, Commercial Transaction System,
Level 2A or 2B
OPTIONAL SOFTWARE:
None

The BASIC-PLUS-2 language processor is composed
of a compiler and an Object Time System/Library.

TRAIN ING CREDITS:
None

The BASIC-PLUS-2 compiler produces an object
module from a source program. The compiler checks
each program line for syntax errors and returns an
appropriate message if an error is found. The user
can then correct the program (if necessary) and compile it. Program compilations result in an object module that can be linked and executed at the operating
system command level. On the CTS-500 system, the
BASIC-PLUS-2 compiler can produce an image module that can be executed immediately, provided no
CALL statement or RMS I/O is referenced.

SUPPORT CATEGORY:
A - Software Support will be provided as stated in
the Software Support Categories Addendum to this
SPD.

BASIC-PLUS-2 Record I/O operations are controlled
through the RMS-11 K file structure. This method of
Record I/O supports sequential, relative, and Indexed
