These machines were variable word length commercial machines, as were many of the computers for which an Autocoder was released.

Autocoder was the primary language of this computer, and its macro capabilities supported use of the Input / Output Control System which eased the programming burden.

A copy of the source programs for SPS-1, SPS-2 and Autocoder was donated to the Charles Babbage Institute, University of Minnesota, by Gary Mokotoff, author of SPS and coauthor of Autocoder.

When an actual index word or a symbolic address is specified, Autocoder will equate the name IOCSIXF to it.

Thus, when specifically permitted, the operand of a given line on the Autocoder coding sheet may be continued in the operand of from one to four additional lines which immediately follow.

Certain Autocoder statements make provision for more parameters than may be contained in the operand ( columns 21 - 75 ) of a single line on the Autocoder coding sheet.

Programming languages for the 1400 series included Symbolic Programming System ( SPS, an assembly language ), Autocoder ( assembly language ), COBOL, FORTRAN, Report Program Generator ( RPG ) and FARGO.

The most well known Autocoder is that of the IBM 1401, undoubtedly due in part to the general success of that series of machines.

The assignment of actual addresses to symbolic index word and electronic switch names occurs in Phase 3, of the Autocoder processor.

Autocoder declarative statements provide the processor with the necessary information to complete the imperative operations properly.

7070/7074 Autocoder includes the following declarative statements: DA ( Define Area ), DC ( Define Constant ), DRDW ( Define Record Definition Word ), DSW ( Define Switch ), DLINE ( Define Line ), EQU ( Equate ), CODE,DTF ( Define Tape File ), DIOCS ( Define Input/Output Control System ), and DUF ( Descriptive Entry For Unit Records ).

When so instructed, Autocoder will generate one or more RDWS and assign them successive locations immediately preceding the area with which they are to be associated.

Brief descriptions of these three declarative statements and detailed descriptions of the formats and functions of each of the other 7070/7074 Autocoder declarative statements follow below.

When an actual index word or a symbolic address is specified, Autocoder will equate IOCSIXG to it.

Other languages of the era included ALGOL and Autocoder and a few years later PL / I.

That girl last night, what was her name??

For a blood-chilling ring of terror to the very sound of his name was the tool he needed for the job he'd promised to do.

No man's name brought more cheers when it was announced in a rodeo.

My lovely caller -- Joyce Holland was her name -- had previously done three filmed commercials for zing, and this evening, the fourth, a super production, had been filmed at the home of Louis Thor.

Her name was L'Turu and she told me many things.

Bill Doolin's ambition, it appeared, was to carve out his name with bullets alongside those of Jesse James and Billy the Kid, and Bill Tilghman had sworn he would stop him.

Miss Langford ( her first name was Evelyn ) was an attractive girl.

The difference came down to this: The Southern States insisted that the United States was, in last analysis, what its name implied -- a Union of States.

I was having lunch not long ago ( apologies to N. V. Peale ) with three distinguished historians ( one specializing in the European Middle Ages, one in American history, and one in the Far East ), and I asked them if they could name instances where the general mores had been radically changed with `` deliberate speed, majestic instancy '' ( Francis Thompson's words for the Hound Of Heaven's Pursuit ) by judicial fiat.

Neither was Henrietta hoydenish like Jo, who frankly wished she were a boy and had deliberately shortened her name, which, like Henrietta's, was the feminine form of a boy's name.

But neither was Lilian her baptismal name.

Though she did not then know its name, this strange new fruit was a banana.

It seems to me now, in a long backward glance, that many of the Hetman's conceits and odd actions -- together with his grim posture when brandishing the hatchet in the name of Mr. Hearst -- were keyed with the tragedy which was to close over him one day.

An accompanying sympathetic letter explained that inside the envelope was a name for Mrs. Coolidge's first granddaughter.

The name inside the envelope was `` Cynthia ''.

Her name was Esther Peter.

Pike was stunned by the first blast against his character, which was published in the March 4th issue of The Gazette under the name `` Vale ''.

Under Fosdick the first executive officer of the CTCA was Richard Byrd, whose name in later years was to become synonymous with activities at the polar antipodes.

I had had my name taken out of the telephone book, and this was partly because of a convict who had been discharged from Sing Sing and who called me night after night.

At the same moment Wheeler Fiske fired the rifle Mike had given him and another guerrilla was hit.

When the possibility that he had not given reconsideration to so weighty a decision seemed to disconcert his questioners, Mr. Eisenhower was known to make his characteristic statement to the press that he was not going to talk about the matter any more.

We were given a job and we carried it out, and later, his case was taken up by the Disciplinary Committee.

The first royalty whom Mama ever waited on in the White House was Queen Marie of Rumania, who came to a State dinner given in her honor on October 21, 1926.

That was in the days before blood banks, of course, and transfusions had to be given directly from donor to patient.

he was given the difference between that amount and $5000.

Underneath all the high-sounding phrases of royal and papal letters and behind the more down-to-earth instructions to the envoys was the inescapable fact that Edward would have to desert his Flemish allies and leave them to the vengeance of their indignant suzerain, the king of France, in return for being given an equally free hand with the insubordinate Scots.

Yet, the idea imbedded in each was identical: to surround the unknown with mystery and to isolate that class which had been given special dominion over the secrets of God.

He was a captain, he said, in the army, and on the train to New York his purse and all his money had been stolen, and would I lend him twenty-five dollars to be given him at the General Delivery window??

The promise that the lion and the lamb will lie down together was given in the future tense.

That such expansion can be obtained without a raise in taxes is due to growth of the tax digest and sound fiscal planning on the part of the board of commissioners, headed by Chairman Charles O. Emmerich who is demonstrating that the public trust he was given was well placed, and other county officials.

Sam Rayburn took unnumbered secrets with him to the grave, for he was never loquacious, and his word, once given, was not subject to retraction.

As we understand, this directive was given to all city and county employes.

Actually, of course, that label `` controversial '' applied only because he was carrying out the mandate given him by the world organization he headed rather than following the dictates of the Soviet Union.

But then, after the little operetta had been given its feeble amateur rendering, everyone insisted that it was too good to be lost forever, and that the Royal Academy of Music must now have the manuscript in order to give it the really first-rate performance it merited.

The city had recently given him a small salary, but it was not enough to supply even necessities.

He was allowed to spend his nights at an inn near the hospital and he was given some extra money to go to the pachinko parlor -- an excellent place to make contact with the enemy.

At the same time another child -- this one of Shelley's brain -- was given to the world: Alastor, a poem of pervading beauty in which the reader may gaze into the still depths of a fine mind's musings.

For the moment there was no woman in his life, and it was this vacuum that had given Claire her opportunity.

Now Hans had given Ma something of his -- we both had when we thought she was going straight to Pa -- something valuable ; ;
