A Solution to the ASIS File Management Exercise Using RCA's UL/1.

This paper starts with an overview of the way the ASIS file management exercise was approached using three of the divisions of UL/1. These were establishment, update, and interrogation in that order. After the 65-record file was established via a necessary data conversion, it was updated in one run. Finally, three of the four required listings and all queries were handled in one run of the interrogation division. Examples are included of how updates, listings, and queries are specified in UL/1. The conclusion discusses shortcomings in UL/1 which the exercise revealed and mentions UL/1 capability not called for in the exercise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
