Means is provided for comparing the virtual page identifier of the associative words with a virtual page identifier of a job program, and means is provided for sequentially shifting the associative words so that the associative word containing the virtual page identifier which corresponds to the virtual page identifier of the job program is placed in the highest ordered associative register.
