ECHO: a simple procedure to ECHO input data from any existing FORTRAN code. [In FORTRAN for IBM 360]
An exact copy of input data to a FORTRAN program can be listed by inserting a single statement, CALL ECHO, and just a few Job Control Language (JCL) statements, without any further changes to the program itself. This allows the card images to be displayed such that the card columns and card sequence order can be easily checked for accuracy. These features are of great importance in computer codes requiring large numbers of input cards having data in specific columns or fields and in a particular input stream sequence. By such display of the input data, program statements can concentrate on the presentation of the input data in a meaningful manner rather than just as a check on their accuracy. Also, these data are presented at the beginning of the program; in this way problems of the data remaining in buffers and not being printed out are avoided, as well as those associated with ABENDS caused by the input data themselves. The printout shows the card columns by tens at the top and bottom of each page and after the last card, and indicates the physical sequential number of each card read.
