Detects control breaks a t one o r more levels s o a s to:
a. Control the tabulation procedure
b. Issue logical control totals
c. Issue logical control headings
Edits data fields for reporting (for example, comma, decimal point, and dollar-sign
insertion and zero suppression)
The COBOL-61 to GECOM Translator converts programs described in COBOL-61 language into
language acceptable to GECOM. The source language of the basic compiler i s based in p a r t on
COBOL-60. The translator enablesGECOM toprovide for additional functions defined in COBOL-61
specifications.

II
Compiler
Using this compiler with the GE-235, a source program written in the language of FORTRAN II, a
scientific compiler, will produce an assembled program ready for use.
F O R T R A N II Compiler With Card Input-Output
This compiler will compile a FORTRAN I1 source program on a GE-235 system with a minimum
input-output configuration. The full FORTRAN language is not implemented in this compiler
(magnetic tape operations, for example, a r e omitted).

Simplicity and flexibility of coding a r e principal features of the macroassembler called ZOOM (in
some respects a compiler). The simplicity of ZOOM coding i s illustrated by the fact that the pro-
grammer writes algebraic expressions with such ordinary symbols a s the plus, minus, and equal
signs. Since they a r e easily read, the expressions a r e easily and quickly checked f o r e r r o r s .
ZOOM translates these algebraic expressions into near optimum GAP coding. To the programmer
who has a working knowledge of GAP, ZOOM allows for more condensed and readable symbolic
programs and produces near optimum object programs. Input is punched c a r d s with combinations
of GAP coding and ZOOM statements; output can be punched cards, magnetic tape, o r printer
listings.
Engineers and other u s e r s of the GE-235 who a r e not primarily programmers will find the WIZ
System a simple, easy-to-use algebraic compiler. The compiler translates source programs
written in the simple WIZ language, usingordinary mathematical symbols, into GE-235 object pro-
grams ready to run. WIZ produces GE-235 instructions on cards a t a rate of 500 to 700 instruc-
tions p e r minute. WIZ makes i t e a s y f o r the user to perform either simple o r complex calculations
and print the results in edited form.
