                                                                  ANNEX 1
             MAGNETIC TAPE SPECIFICATION FOR THE DELIVERY TO THE SOEC OF THE
                                          RESULTS OF THE 1977 STRUCTURES SURVEY
              1 . The information recorded in the Community schedule of tables provided for in Article 6 (1 ) of
                  Regulation (EEC) No 3228/76 is to be delivered to the SOEC in the following form :
                  (a) On nine-track magnetic tape/ 1600 BPI (630 bytes/cm) IBM standard label. (If this is not tech­
                      nically possible, special arrangements are to be made with the SOEC.)
                  (b) If slack bytes are included in the tape, the SOEC must be informed.
             2. The data of individual tables are to be furnished in rows in records of fixed length . Each record
                  shall consist of two parts : identification with five zones (country, region, handicapped area status,
                  designation of table, table row number) and information, comprising 12 zones of equal length for
                  transcription of a row.
             3. Annex 2 gives, for each of the zones of such a record :
                  (a) the number of digits available ;
                  (b) the picture in the COBOL programming language appropriate to this number of digits — the
                      meanings of the symbols used for the various pictures are given in paragraph 8 ;
                  (c) the number of bytes required for this picture (on an IBM 370) ;
                  (d) the consecutive numbering of the bytes for the zone in question ;
             4. Annex 3 gives the codes to be used and the numbers of columns and rows in the various tables.
             5. If a table has less than 12 columns, '0' must be entered in the remaining zones of the information
                  part.
             6. Records are to be sorted according to the code for the region, the code for handicapped area
                  status, the code for the table and the number of the row (in that order).
             7. A block shall be determined by the number of records required for transcription for a given
                  geographical unit of the data contained in all the tables of the Community schedule of tables after
                  the adaptations set out in Annex 4.
                  Thus a block will normally consist of 478 records. Where a country does not provide information
                  on a complete row or rows of a table in virtue of an exception provided for in Regulation (EEC)
                  No 3228/76 or Commission Decision 77/614/EEC (*), the complete record(s) is/are deleted and
                  the block length for that country reduced accordingly. Where two rows are merged the combined
                  information is entered in the first (lower number) row and the other row deleted.
             8. The symbols used in the explanation of the picture have the following meaning :
                  — '9' :                     storage of numerical value in the available byte (thus, '99' means storage of
                                              two numerical values in two bytes) ;
                  — 'S9 (9) Comp' :           storage of a decimal number with up to nine places (with prefix) as a binary
                                              fixed point number in four bytes (i.e. in a full word) ;
                  — 'S9 (4) Comp' :           storage of a decimal number with up to four places (with prefix) as a binary
                                              fixed point number in two bytes (i.e. in a half-word).
