A study of the data base handling capabilities of the
Microdata Reality minicomputer by ORD, ODP, and a contractor,
Keystone Associates, has been completed. A subset of SPECLE,
the Office of Security Special Clearance GIM II data base,
was developed by ODP and. used in the study. It was found that
the Microdata Reality system could support the query require-
ments for the SPECLE application but it could not produce all
of the printed reports required in a timely fashion. A final
report on this study, prepared by Keystone Associates, is
being distributed by ORD. The report addresses the general
capabilities and limitations of " ality system for dot
base applications. TATINTL
