The On-Line Update (OUD) Program enables you to modify data stored in
records comprising the Installations Data File (IDF). You will run the pro-
gram via an on-line Sanders Tabular Display, i.e., a cathode-ray tube (CRT)
device located in your work area. The program provides you with four capa-
bilities or options:
* adding a record on a new target
by setting up an IHEAD sector
* adding a sector to a record
* deleting an entire sector from
a record
* changing data in a given sector
HOW DATA IS
PROTECTED
By the Program
To preclude unauthorized and invalid changes to records in the file,

several. safeguards have been included in the program.
1. The program can be called and run only
via CRTs designated for that purpose;
if you attempt to use some other CRT
to run the program, you will receive
an error message to this effect.
2. When calling the program, you will be
required to transmit to the computer
a key word permitting you to
use one or more of the
four options and
update a select group of
sectors
3. Before an updated sector is stored in
the IDF, the computer will check the
format and validity of each field
having a fixed number of characters.
4. Only one person can update a given
record at one time.
Administrative
Procedures
P2-2
Each division is responsible for ensuring that only authorized per-
sonnel use the OUD Program and that only authorized personnel have access
to key words on a need-to-know basis. Each division is also responsible
for ensuring that authorized personnel call and run the program on the
CRTs designated for that purpose.

Each time you receive a display from the OUD Program, you have ten
minutes in which to respond. If you do not respond within that time, com-
munications with the computer system will automatically be terminated.
However, five minutes before the end of this interval, the UNSOL MSG func-
tion switch will go on to indicate that you have five minutes in which to
respond. You can obtain another ten-minute period each time your response
to a given display is valid. If instructions are being displayed, complete
one of them. If data from an IDF record is being displayed, press the
XMIT PAGE control switch to transmit any changes you have made. Typing
data is not considered a transmission. If you are adding a sector or an
occurrence of a repeating field (APPENDIX A), complete the required steps
as soon as possible and press the XMIT PAGE switch. In any case, do not
press the UNSOL MSG switch to ti+rn it off. If you do, data may be lost.
To use the On-Line Update Program effectively it is assumed that you

Whenever you call the OUD Program on a CRT, you will transmit this
information to the computer at the same time:
* a key word
the logical equipment number
(LEN) of an on-line printer
in case you want a printed
copy of a displayed page
The key word will permit you to use one or more program options and update
a select group of sectors. Key words are available only in your component
and therefore have not been included in this manual.

After you have called the program, the ACK MSG status lamp will go
on almost immediately. You will then receive a message on the teletype-
writer associated with the CRT you are using. The message will include
these items: OUD, the first ten characters you typed on line 2 (STEP 3),
and a job number (JNR) assigned by the computer system. Although other
information will also appear in the message, you need not be concerned
with it. For example:
OUD, E4 ,DOE,35 SMT=1128 491P JOB
JNR=1231+567896 PRI=0 PTS=O MCQ=2 X
Wait for the UNSOL MSG switch (top row of function switches) to go on.
When it does, press the switch to turn it off. Wait for a display of
processing options to appear on the screen.
If communications with the computer system have not been properly
established, that is, the ACK MSG lamp does not go on within a couple of
seconds, follow the procedures given below.
If the first three lines in your program
call-up are still on the screen and the
REPEAT ACTION status lamp is on, press

entered will usually consist of both textual and nontextual values. Non-
textual values will consist of a predetermined number of characters, i.e.,
the length of the values will be fixed. The length of textual material
will vary. We recommend that nontextual values be entered first, then
textual material.
At this point in the processing you can enter only one occurrence of
each repeating field in the sector. (See APPENDIX A.) After you have
entered data in the fields and items displayed on the screen, you may
enter additional occurrences of one or more repeating fields. If you in-
tend to enter more than one occurrence of the same repeating field and
that field contains a DATE item, these occurrences must be entered in
chronological order, that is, the earliest occurrence must be entered
first.
If the sector you specified in the display of processing options
is already in the record to be updated, you will receive an error message.
The processing options will be redisplayed. You may then choose another

CHAPTER VII. CHANGING A SECTOR
If you chose option D, changing the sector you specified in the dis-
play of processing options, you may add, replace, delete, insert, and
transpose data. After your choice has been transmitted to the computer,
the first page of the sector you specified will be displayed. This and
succeeding pages (if any) will include select header information, a
defense classification, and a page number. Mnemonics and data (values)
for the fields and items comprising the sector will appear on the rest of
the page.
Values will be textual and nontextual. Nontextual values will con-
sist of a predetermined number of characters, i.e., the length of each
value will be fixed. Such values will be updated by changing one character
at a time, on a one-for-one basis. The length of textual material will
vary. Text can be updated by adding new text or updating existing text.
When updating a sector, we recommend that you work on one page at a
time. On each page add, replace, insert, transpose, and delete values in
this order:
1) nontextual
2) textual
3) occurrences of repeating fields
Display each page of a sector at least once. To display succeeding pages
press the NEXT PAGE function switch as often as necessary. If no changes
are to be made on a page, press this switch again. The last page of the
sector will be identified by the words, LAST PAGE, in the upper right
corner of the screen.
After all pages have been updated, press the NEXT ACTION function
switch.

UPDATING EXISTING
TEXTUAL MATERIAL
Updating textual material previously recorded in a field or item
consists of deleting, inserting, replacing, and/or transposing text.
All text for a field or item is updated on a so-called EXPAND PAGE. On
each page, eleven character positions at the end of each line and four
blank lines at the bottom of the page can accommodate text as you insert
and transpose material. We recommend that you update one EXPAND PAGE at
a time, transmit the changes, and then update each succeeding EXPAND PAGE
(if any).
