The COBOL program DATA-ENTRY-1 solves a large class of elementary data-capture, data-formatting, and data-editing problems for managerial accounting. It operates on-line in the time-sharing environment of the Network Operating System (NOS) on a CDC 6600 computer. The Output Record Definition Table controls the processing and specifies such things as record and field types, data sources, prompt words, output field addresses, and instructions for formatting, truncating, and editing. Each new data-entry problem changes the contents of the table. DATA-ENTRY-1 provides for free-form entry of phrases and for a comprehensive set of reserved control words that perform utility functions and control the prompt sequence. 19 figures, 7 tables.
