Corrections file
The corrections file defines corrections to be made as the data is read and before the statements in the main Quantum program are executed. Serial numbers in the corrections file must appear in the same order as those in the data file.
The corrections file is called corrfile on all systems.
Format
The format of a correction record is:
serial ; corrections
for non-trailer card records, where serial is the record serial number and corrections are the corrections to be made. The format for trailer card records is:
serial/n ; corrections
where n is the trailer card number found from the error listing.
Entering corrections
s cn ='p'
Overwrite a column.
e cn = 'p'
Add a code to a column.
d cn = 'p'
Delete a code from a column.
de cn ='p'
Delete a code from a column.
Example
0010; s c112'1'; e c212'3'; c314='34'
0123 /4; c(224,227)=$1234$
