About This Course

Purpose
The purpose of the course is to enhance the existing ClearPath HMP NX and A 
Series languages curriculum by supplying training in the use and implementation of
the advanced functionality and features provided with the ALGOL language on the 
ClearPath HMP NX and A Series system.

The goal of this course is to provide basic and intermediate level training. However 
it is expected that students have had some experience with a ClearPath HMP NX or 
A Series system and with programming. The course covers the common ALGOL 
extensions specific to the Unisys ClearPath HMP NX and A Series system compilers 
but not the advanced enhancements provided with the DCALGOL, DMALGOL, 
BDMSALGOL or NEWP compilers..

How to Use This Document

This course is designed to be instructor­led. However, all technical information 
required to learn ALGOL is contained in the document, along with examples and 
appendices which contain answers to review exercises and solutions to the 
laboratory exercises, so it is possible that a student may complete the course by 
individual efforts.

Overview
ALGOL is the basis for ClearPath HMP NX and A Series system software as well as 
a highly flexible language with which to develop applications. Because of its 
efficiency, ease of use and flexibility, it is an industry leader world­wide and an 
important justification for users to aquire ClearPath HMP NX or A Series 
mainframes.

This course is updated for use through System Software Release 44.1.

Organization
This document is divided into two volumes with sixteen sections.

Volume 1

Section 1 ­ Program Structure
With very few structural constraints an ALGOL program can be written to do 
real work.

Section 2 ­ The PROCEDURE
Organization into Procedures gives a program flexibility and the modular 
structure makes a program easier to document and maintain.

Section 3 ­ Conditional Statements
Logical directions in programs are provided with conditional statements.

Section 4 ­ Cases and Labels
CASE statements are a simpler alternative to extended IF statements. Labels 
provide a simple means to branch forward or backward.

Section 5 ­ Iteration Statements
Iteration statements provide efficiency in operations as well as convenience to 
programmers.

Section 6 ­ Arrays
Arrays provide data processing efficiency and convenience.

Section 7 ­ Processing Character Data
EBCDIC arrays and pointers provide a very efficient means of processing 
character data.

Section 8 ­ Pointer Operations
Pointers, the SCAN statement and extensions of the REPLACE statement 
provide many programming tools to character processing.

Section 9 ­ Parameters and Functions
Parameters give procedures additional flexibility. Typed procedures provide an 
additional value on return and can be used as arithmetic or Boolean expressions.
Applications can call typed procedures available as system intrinsic functions.

Section 10 ­ Bits and Defines
Partial words and the Masksearch function enhance processing effiency, and 
partial word storage saves disk space for large files. Defines are programming 
and documentation conveniences.

Volume 2

Section 11 ­ Libraries
Library programs give system software and applications versatility and 
efficiency.

Section 12 ­ Task Processing
An application can be modularized into separate tasks which can operate 
asynchronously to obtain greater efficiency, be available to other applications, 
and are easier to maintain.

Section 13 ­ Events and Interrupts
Events or Interlocks are necessary for preventing conflicts over shared resources
among asynchronous processes. Interrupt, Epilog and Exception procedures can 
perform critical operations without being invoked.

Section 14 ­ Error Detection
Before programs are placed in production, they should be thoroughly tested and 
debugged. Methods of preventing faults and expediting the testing procedures 
are of great value.

Section 15 ­ Communication Techniques
With terminal control codes, user­friendly screen libraries may be created for use
by all applications. Port files facilitate data exchange among programs of all 
types. 

Section 16 ­ Disk Files
Data file processing can be more efficient through control of file attributes. The 
SORT intrinsic facilitates the reorganization of file records. Binding object code 
files together simplifies and expedites program maintenance.

Software
A ClearPath HMP NX or A Series ALGOL compiler of any release level is required 
to complete this course.

The following data files are important for students in the course. The files can be
