           structure of agricultural holdings, and in particular Article 8(1 ) (d) thereof;
           "Whereas the equipment which the Commission has available for analysing the restilts
           of the structures survey for 1975 and the need for its rational use require that a standard
           format be prescribed for the transcription of the data on to magnetic tape;

           of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics,
           HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

           The standard code and rules governing the transcription on to magnetic tape of the
           data provided for in the List of Characteristics set out in the Annex to Directive
           No 75/108/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto;

            MAGNETIC TAPE SPECIFICATION FOR THE DELIVERY TO THE SOEC OF
                           THE RESULTS OF THE 1975 FARM STRUCTURE SURVEY
                                               (Directive 75/ 108/EEC)
                                               GENERAL PROVISIONS
             I. The information recorded in accordance with the List of Characteristics annexed to
                Directive 75/108/EEC is to be delivered to the SOEC in the following form :
                 1 . On 9 track magnetic tape/1600 BPI (630 bytes/cm) standard label.
                2. Member States have a choice as to blocking factor. The factor preferred by
                     SOEC is 10. The SOEC must be infocmed as to what blocking factor has been
                     used.
                3 . When slack bytes are added in the composition of the tape the SOEC should be
                     informed.
                4. Holdings are to be sorted according to region number, survey district number
                     and holding number (in the order given).
            II. The following pages give, for the various items of the List of Characteristics (*):
                 1 . The maximum number of digits required or the item in question (possible entry).
                2. The symbol in the COBOL programming language, which is appropriate to the
                     maximum number of digits provided for in ( 1 ) and to the type of information
                     concerned.
                3 . The number of bytes required to store the information as described in (2) (on an
                     IBM 360).
                 4. The consecutive numbering of bytes for the various items of the List of
                     Characteristics .
                 5 . The codes which are to be used.
                 The symbols used in (2) have the following meanings :
                —'9':              storage of a numerical value in the available byte (correspondingly
                                   '99' means storage of two numerical values in two bytes);
                 —'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);
                 —'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);
                —'X':              storage of an alphanumerical value in the available byte (thus
                                   'X(IO)' means storage of ten aJphanumericial values in ten bytes).
            (*) Items of information without an explicit reference number in the List of Characteristics but
                which constitute a separate element on the magnetic tape have been given reference
                numbers by extending those used in the List of Characteristics. These additional reference
                numbers are marked with *.
