Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: DIBOL-11/DECFORM, Version 40

DESCRIPTION:
DIBOL-11/DECFORM, Version 4D, is a software configuration option included with DEC Datasystems (530
and· 570 series) running CTS-500 Level3B. The package
includes the DIBOL-11 language processor and the DECFORM screen formatting and file review utility. DIBOL11/DECFORM, Version 4D, is a file compatible with
RMS-11 K Record Management Services. The package is
an option for the CTS-500 level 2A, 2B, and 3A systems.
DIBOL is DIGITAL's own business oriented high-level
language. It is similar to COBOL in that it has a Data
Division and a Procedure Division. Its procedural
statements are English-like, but it is a more concise
language than COBOL. DIBOL provides the ability to
do data manipulation, arithmetic expression evaluation, subscripting of tables, redefinition of records,
external calls to other programs, and both sequential
and random access to files. Exception conditions
cause control to transfer to a user-specified statement
which can query status registers to determine the
cause of the condition. A comprehensive on-line debugging system permits the program developer to
isolate and correct programming errors quickly.
DECFORM is a data entry and file review system utility which enables the· development of interactive data
entry screen formatting and file review functions.
DECFORM provides the system designer with a generalize(j set of functions. The designer selects the
functions needed to implement a particular data entry
and/or file review application. In addition to defining
screen formats, DECFORM enables the programmer
to define field protection, auto-duplication, alphabetiC
or decimal checking, range checking, field totaling,
cross-field validation, and auto-increment characteristics.
DECFORM facilitates additions,
reviews,
changes, and verifications to files.

ADDENDUM
SOFTWARE SUPPORT CATEGORIES
Each software product (hereinafter 'SOFTWARE') with a designated Support Category A or B in the applicable Software Product
Description (SPD) existing at the time of order will be the current release at the time of delivery and will conform to the SPD.
DIGITAL's sole obligation shall be to correct defects (nonconformance of the SOFTWARE to the SPD) as described below. Any
SOFTWARE with a designated Support Category C will be furnished on an 'as is' basis.
For SOFTWARE with a deSignated Support Category A or B, DIGITAL will provide the services set forth below without additional
charge.
CATEGORY A
1. Upon notification by customer to the nearest DIGITAL office that the computer system, including all required prerequisite
hardware and software, is ready for the installation of the SOFTWARE, DIGITAL will install such SOFTWARE in any location
within the contiguous forty-eight (48) United States, the District of Columbia, or a country in which DIGITAL or a subsidiary
of DIGITAL has a software service facility. The notification must be received by DIGITAL and the system must be ready for
installation within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the SOFTWARE to customer or DIGITAL will have no obligation to
install. Installation will consist of: (1) verification that all components of the SOFTWARE have been received by customer, (2)
loading the SOFTWARE, and (3) executing a DIGITAL sample procedure.
2. During the ninety (90) day period after installation, if the customer encounters a problem with the current unaltered release
of the SOFTWARE which DIGITAL determines to be a defect in the SOFTWARE, DIGITAL will provide the following remedial
service (on site where necessary): (1) if the SOFTWARE is inoperable, apply a temporary correction (TC) or make a
reasonable attempt to develop an emergency by-pass, and (2) assist the customer to prepare a Software Performance
Report (SPR) and submit it to DIGITAl.
3. During the one (1) year period following installation, if the customer encounters a problem with the SOFTWARE which his
diagnosis indicates is caused by a SOFTWARE defect, the customer may submit an SPR to DIGITAl. DIGITAL will respond
to problems reported in SPRs which are caused by defects in the current unaltered release of the SOFTWARE via the
Maintenance Periodical for the SOFTWARE, which reports SPRs received, code corrections, temporary corrections, generally
useful emergency by-passes and/or notice of the availability of corrected code. Software Updates, if any, released by
DIGITAL during the one (1) year period, will be provided to the customer on DIGITAL's standard distribution media as
specified in the applicable SPD. The customer will be charged only for the media on which such updates are provided,
unless otherwise stated in the applicable SPD, at DIGITAL's then current media prices.

CATEGORYC
SOFTWARE is provided on an 'as is' basis. Any software services, if available, will be provided at the then current charges.
DIGITAL shall have the right to make additional charges for any additional effort required to provide services resulting from
customer use of other than current unaltered release of the SOFTWARE operated in accordance with the SPD.
