Program Coding

The program begins its real task by displaying the identification side for short-term before under program phase message ”Program is initializing ...“ the program shows the start message in the control output window.

If you have activated the checkbox field below the control information dataset field, then only
“-- silence ! --“ is written into the control output window and a point in the next line shows that the actual program task has been ended successfully. If there is no error, no other messages are written to the control output window.

If the program has to handle overlay information and shall report its activities, this is shown by the following message:

Begin of handling the overlay information: Th. 12/07/2006, 14:28:13.

by continuing its overlay information activities you can see:

Continuation of handling the overlay information: Th. 12/07/2006, 14:28:13.

and the end of this section is shown as the following:

End of handling the overlay information: Th. 12/07/2006, 14:28:13.

The initialisation section of the program reporting its activities is started with:

Begin of initialization: Th. 12/07/2006, 14:28:13.

and the end of initialisation is shown as follows:

End of initialization: Th. 12/07/2006, 14:28:13.

Closing the initialisation – also a complete initialised parameter dataset needs an initialisation for activating the transformation table(s) – and if there is no plain handling of a parameter dataset, the program starts with coding the data (i.e.):

Begin of en-/decoding: Th. 12/07/2006, 14:28:13.

With that the program is n o t interruptible any more. Because all coded datasets are directly processed (no copies are generated at all), a program interrupt in this phase can irretrievably destroy (!) one or more datasets, i.e. you absolutely have to make backup copies e.g. on other storage media (!). In success these copies can be replaced by the encoding results to get protection against troubles during decoding.

The program task ends by writing the number of characters, datasets, and directories which have been processed and the end message of the coding section (i.e.):

212,430,600 bytes in 54 dataset(s) in 9 directory(ies) processed.

End of process: Th. 12/07/2006, 14:28:35.

With the terminate message

En-/decoding program C O D I N G 1 1.1 terminated.

the program leaves the task.
