FOROTS-10 -- Changes from V5(620) to V5A(721)
October 1977
1.0 SUMMARY
FOROTS is the object time system that provides runtime support for
Fortran programs, including monitor interface functions for I/O, core
management and error handling. FORLIB is the Fortran library
containing the mathematical intrinsic functions and various external
subroutines.
The reason for this release is to correct outstanding bugs for both
FORTRAN and F40 support in FOROTS version 5.
FOROTS version 5A is FOROTS version 5 with edits #620 through #721
inclusive. This version fully replaces versions 1, 1A, 2, 3, 4, 4A,
4B and 5.
1.1 Bibliography
FOROTS is documented in the FORTRAN-10 Programmer's Reference Manual
AA-0944E-TB.
1.2 Monitors
This release of FOROTS will run with 5.07A, 5.07B, 6.01A, 6.01B, 6.02
and 6.03 (see "Deficiencies and Restrictions"). The successful
operation of DATE-75 handling by the FOROTS system requires one of the
following monitors:
A) 5.06B with the patches as published for this monitor to
handle DATE-75.
B) 5.07A, 5.07B, 6.01A, 6.01B, 6.02 or 6.03 as released.
1.3 Related System Software
The following system software must be used with the FOROTS system:
F40 any version
FORTRAN any version
LINK any version
MACRO version 52
MAKLIB version 2(14) or later
FRS5A.DOC - FOROTS-10 Page 3
2.0 EXTERNAL CHANGES
Lower case letters are now accepted as FORMAT descriptors as they are
already acceptable to the compiler. Lower case letters for D or E
exponents and True or False logical constants are now accepted.
The PLOTS plotter subroutine will now take an optional second argument
which is the step size for the plotter involved.
The ALOG function has been rewritten to improve the accuracy in
certain ranges.
When closing a file with DISPOSE='PRINT', the DEVICE= argument will be
used as the queue name to pass to QMANGR. It will NOT be error
checked.
Recovery from an ILLEGAL LSCW error on sequential input now scans
forward in the file until it finds a word which LOOKS LIKE (but can't
be guaranteed to be) a beginning LSCW to position the file at the
beginning of the next record.
If the argument value of the OPEN/CLOSE keyword DIRECTORY is zero, the
default path will be used instead of the logged-in one.
A tape density of 6250 is now accepted.
With free-format O format, a double precision argument in the iolist
will input to and output from both words.
The routines BUFFER, IBUFF, OBUFF, EOF1, EOFC and MAGDEN will only be
supported by a FOROTS/FORLIB built for F40.
On magtape I/O, if no DENSITY= is present, FOROTS will use the user
set or system default density.
The TRACE routine now works correctly when the subroutines in the CALL
history reside in OVERLAYs.
3.0 KNOWN BUGS AND DEFICIENCIES
FOROTS version 5 has the following deficiencies:
A) RANDOM ACCESS in DUMP mode is unimplemented in version 5 of
FOROTS. It will be implemented at such time as the monitor
supports scatter/gather I/O to other than DECTAPE. Until
then an appropriate error message will be issued if any
attempt is made to use RANDOM, RANDIN, or APPEND access with
DUMP mode. The user is advised to use IMAGE mode under such
circumstances.
B) REREAD on a TTY device only rereads at most the last 150
characters from the previous record.
FRS5A.DOC - FOROTS-10 Page 4
C) FOROTS will not automatically handle multiple reel files on
MAGTAPE.
D) IMAGE mode I/O does not work on TTY.
E) Encoding an array into the same array is not possible. (The
target array is first filled with blanks.)
F) FOROTS does not read line sequenced files directly.
G) RANDOM NUMBER generator routine fails if it is initialized
with a call to SETRAN with an argument of 2**31-1.
H) REREAD will not work with spooled devices unless the
RECORDSIZE is a multiple or divisor of 128 words.
I) Attempting to do a control-C and then .CLOSE while a file is
open for RANDOM I/O will cause lost data, extra spurious
data, or ADDRESS CHECK FOR DEVICE. The same problems can be
caused by attempting to EXIT from a MACRO subroutine while a
RANDOM access file is open.
J) FOROTS cannot BACKSPACE a binary file written by FORSE.. If
the user wishes to do positioning on FORSE. written binary
files, he must first copy the file using FOROTS.
4.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The installation of the FOROTS/FORLIB system involves renaming the
appropriate KA or KI/KL files and copying them to SYS:. The KI
version runs without modification on the KL10. The FOROTS files are
FOROKA.SHR and FOROKI.SHR. The appropriate one for your CPU should be
renamed to FOROTS.SHR and copied to SYS:. The FORLIB files are
FORLKA.REL and FORLKI.REL. The appropriate one should be renamed to
FORLIB.REL and copied to SYS:. If you desire to use the .EXE rather
than the .SHR files for FOROTS, they are FOROKA.EXE and FOROKI.EXE.
Copy the proper one for your CPU to SYS: as FOROTS.EXE.
If you desire to assemble the FOROTS or FORLIB sources, a FORPRM.UNV
file must be created. Assemble (with MACRO 50(272) or later)
FORPRM.MAC with FORCPU.KA or FORCPU.KI as appropriate for your CPU.
There are two command files for PIP (FRSKA.CMD and FRSKI.CMD), used by
B10FRS.CTL in building FORLIB, that merge all of the library .REL
files together. MAKLIB is used to create an INDEXed FORLIB with no
local symbols.
See the file FTN5A.FIG for information regarding installation.

SPR-20411 handling of negative single and double precision
numbers to non-integer powers. Also rearranged
order of FORDBL.MAC by reversing position of DEXP.2
and DEXP.3 to facilitate call from DEXP.3 to DEXP.2.
#625 SPR-none Fixes to FORTRP for double precision zero divide.
It should return plus or minus infinity, depending
on the sign of the dividend. 4B(460) always
returned positive infinity; after patch 531, zero
was returned.

delete a file with DISPOSE='DELETE' loses.
#631 SPR-21591 Fix SCALE in FORPLT so XMIN gets set right if
INT(lowest value/DX)=0, and prevent zero divides
when all values to be scaled are equal by
arbitrarily setting up the scaling.
#632 SPR-none Fix PLOTS in FORPLT to accept optional second
argument which is step size.

reason for the RENAME is known.
#634 SPR-10201 Logical device names ignore the directory if a
directory was specified.
#635 QAR-870 Fix OPEN(DISPOSE=DELETE),REWIND,END so that file
will be deleted at exit time.
FRS5A.DOC - FOROTS-10 Page 6
#636 QAR-1037 Fix FORERR for illegal character in data with T
format.
#637 SPR-none Change to random number generator - fix so that 'Y'
part of HRLI instruction is 0 rather than mnemonic
for register 0.
#640 SPR-none Add F20LIB switch to FORPRM and modify PLOTS to
assemble value of STPSIZE conditionally upon F20LIB
switch.
#641 SPR-21699 Change definitions of FORSE entry points in FORJAK
from INTERNs to ENTRYs.
#642 SPR-none Rewrite of ALOG routine in FORSIN. Special case for
values of X around 1 more accurate.

pass to QMANGR as "original directory". After edit
537 (due to edit 617) DD.PPN contains 0 not ppn
after LOOKUP.
#647 SPR-22171 Use DEVICE= as queue name for DISPOSE='PRINT' on
CLOSE.
#650 SPR-none In FOROTS, FORFUN, and FORERR change the names of
two EXTERNALs to be unique and not valid in FORTRAN.
The EXTERNALs are DMPSTR and ALCOR and will be
DMPST. and FMEM%%.
#651 SPR-22415 In FOROTS, fix edit 615 to zero out DENSITY field
correctly.

#661 SPR-none Get rid of RUBOUT on '$' and '+' format descriptors
i.e., fix patches 567 and 577.
#662 SPR-none Fix FORINI to reset .JBOPS after GETSEG.
#663 SPR-22507 Fix edit 610 to update channel table so IO.BSE
(ERRBS in progress for BSREAD) will be reset.
#664 SPR-22708 Fix '$' format on non-ccc devices not to lose rest
of line after '$'. Fixes error made by patch 223,
partially repaired by 616.
#665 SPR-22886 Fix edit 624 to save and restore temporary registers
properly in all cases. in DEXP.3 in FORDBL.
#666 SPR-21877 Clear FST.DY at fin% so on ERR= of random read,
previous format array which was freed is not freed
again (since that loops PMEM%%).
#667 SPR-22601 In OPEN/CLOSE, if user specifies DIRECTORY=0,0,
don't default both proj,prog to user's ppn (like
edit 536 says). Just pass 0 so monitor can use
default path.
#670 SPR-22686 Uncomment 6250 bpi entry in TAPOP. density table
#671 SPR-none Handle singleton ELIST as SLIST (beware: FT.INC in
FLIRT% = FT.ELT).

FOROTS-10 -- Changes From V4B(460) to V5(617)
November 1976
1.0 SUMMARY
The reason for this release is to correct outstanding bugs for both
FORTRAN and F40 support in FOROTS version 4B. Also this FOROTS/FORLIB
supports new functionality for user-handling of both hard and soft I/O
errors on OPEN, READ, WRITE and CLOSE using ERR=.
FOROTS version 5 is FOROTS version 4B with edits #461 through #617
inclusive. This version fully replaces versions 1, 1A, 2, 3, 4, 4A,
and 4B.
1.1 Bibliography
FOROTS is documented in the FORTRAN-10 Programmer's Reference Manual
AA-0944E-TB.
1.2 Monitors
This release of FOROTS will run with 5.07A, 5.07B, 6.01A, 6.01B, and
6.02 (see "Deficiencies and Restrictions"). The successful operation
of DATE-75 handling by the FOROTS system requires one of the following
monitors:
A) 506B with the patches as published for this monitor to handle
DATE-75.
B) 5.07A, 5.07B, 6.01A, 6.01B, or 6.02 as released.
1.3 System Software
This release of FOROTS/FORLIB uses MACRO version 50A which corrects
minor code generation problems. The following system software must be
used with the FOROTS system:
MAKLIB
F40 any version
LINK any version
FORTRAN any version
FRS5.DOC - FOROTS-10 Page 11
2.0 EXTERNAL CHANGES
Changes have been made to the list-directed input of quoted strings.
A quoted string which is too long to fit in one element of the input
list will be placed in adjacent elements and will be padded with
blanks. If a quoted string is being placed in an array and it fills
more than one element of the array, the remaining elements of the
array will be unchanged. In this case, it is assumed that the user
meant for the long string to go into the array and for any following
data to go into the rest of the input list. If the string fits into
one element of the array, the array will be filled. Various bugs
which could cause other locations to be filled with blanks have also
been corrected.
New functionality has been added to FORTRAN, FOROTS and FORLIB to
allow user-handling of hard and soft errors on OPEN, CLOSE, READ and
WRITE using the ERR= branch. See the FORTRAN version 5 documentation
(FTN510.DOC) for the detailed specifications.
F format for double precision variables now uses both words.
3.0 KNOWN BUGS AND DEFICIENCIES
FOROTS version 5 has the following deficiencies:
A) RANDOM ACCESS in DUMP mode is unimplemented in version 5 of
FOROTS. It will be implemented at such time as the monitor

version runs without modification on the KL10. The FOROTS files are
FOROKA.SHR and FOROKI.SHR. The appropriate one for your CPU should be

file must be created. Assemble (with MACRO 50(272) or later)
FORPRM.MAC with FORCPU.KA or FORCPU.KI as appropriate for your CPU.
There are two command files for PIP (FRSKA.CMD and FRSKI.CMD), used by
B10FRS.CTL in building FORLIB, that merge all of the library .REL
files together. MAKLIB is used to create an INDEXed FORLIB with no
local symbols.
5.0 INTERNAL CHANGES
The memory management routines have been replaced. The new routines
use a first-fit rather than a best-fit scheme for memory allocation.
They have only one list of free core (rather than a separate one for
use by the overlay handler) that is kept in increasing order by
address. In the free list, adjacent areas of available core are
immediately collapsed into one area.
The following is a list of all edits made to V4B to produce V5.
#461 SPR-16741 Fix NAMELIST in FORCNV to accept any variable name
of six characters.
#462 SPR-16796 Fix FLIRT% in FORCNV so that a call to ILL will
correctly cause illegal characters in data to be set
to zero.
#463 SPR-16661 Fix error message in FORERR to say "Illegal MODE or
FRS5.DOC - FOROTS-10 Page 13
MODE Switch".

do.
#505 SPR-18011 Store blocks rather than words in .RBEST on
FILESIZE= in OPEN.

the overlay handler.
FRS5.DOC - FOROTS-10 Page 14
#507 SPR-17107 Delete the core used by the FLU even if the file has
gone away.
#510 SPR-17898 Do not take the END= return with the buffer ring
headers pointing to an in-core string.
#511 SPR-17107 Change core management to use the lowest address
that fits rather than the smallest one, to avoid
fragmentation.
#512 SPR-17107 If GAD fails in FORFUN, delete the FORMAT blocks and
try again.
#513 SPR-15636 Produce correct results for DATAN(X) when (5*SQRT
(5)-2)/11 < ABS(X) < (5*SQRT (5)+2)/11, that is,
when .8346 < ABS(X) < 1.198.
#514 SPR-18030 Return an error to FUNCT. core function if no core
is available.
#515 SPR-18756 Check proper register (P3) at ER%DA1+10. Fixes edit
424.

can be run in concealed mode.
#532 SPR-18896 Fix AXIS in FORPLT to correctly print the scaling
factor on the axis.
#533 SPR-19239 Clear the double-precision flag at the start of an
IOLST. This makes list-directed I/O work.
#534 SPR-19239 Fix NMLST% in FORCNV for list-directed input of
strings.
#535 SPR-18506 Do a dummy OUT during APPEND mode file positioning
to set up the buffers properly for the monitor.
This will allow control-C and .CLOSE to work for
APPEND mode.

backing up when it finds the first delimiter (since
the error occurred before the end-of-line (ie,
delimiter) was hit).
