Title: Accessing system for serial data stores
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 1965-05-28
Abstract: 1,045,054. Electric digital data-storage; paper tape stores. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. May 28, 1965 [June 29, 1964], No. 22662/65. Headings G4B and G4C. In an accessing system for serial data stores which contain data batches each comprising multi-record blocks, a required record is obtained on specification of the batch and the relative position of the record in the batch, with the aid of a table stored in a random access store. The table in a core store gives for each batch a set of consecutive words which give the identifying numbers of magnetic tape units storing parts of the batch, each number preceded by the symbols EX to indicate that the data is on tape rather than in the core store, and followed by the relevant block identifying numbers on that tape unit, each block number being followed by the number of records in the block. The programme accesses the words relating to the batch and specifies the number of the required record within the batch. From this " record number " are subtracted in turn the fields specifying number of records in blocks, from the table, until the answer is zero or negative. If the answer is negative, the " number of records " field last subtracted is added again. In either case, the tape unit required is now selected and the tape runs forwards or backwards as appropriate until a block number counter in the tape unit agrees with the current block number from the table when the tape is run forwards and read. The result of the subtraction/addition above is then decremented by one every time a record marker is encountered on the tape, until zero (unless already zero). When zero is reached, the tape contents are read out, until the end of the current record or block as controlled by the programme. The magnetic tape units may be replaced by magnetic wire, film, paper tape, or magnetic discs. In the last case, a disc would correspond to a tape unit and a track to a block.
