COMRADE Data Management System Conversational Interface Users Manual.

摘要

The COMRADE Data Management System (CDMS) is a generalized data base management system that has been developed as an independently useful part of the Computer-Aided Design Environment (COMRADE) System. CDMS consists of two distinct components: a set of host language subroutines which enable CDMS functions to be embedded within FORTRAN Extended and COBOL application programs; and a set of conversational programs which enable a user seated at a keyboard/printer or display terminal to define, load, update, and query a CDMS data base, to issue a variety of file management commands, and to access a number of auxiliary capabilties. This report provides an overview of CDMS, and describes the procedural steps involved in the use of the CDMS conversational interface. CDMS operates on the DTNSRDC Control Data 6700 computer. (Author)
