Unisys 2200 Utilities

A Collection of Utility Processors and Libraries

for Unisys 2200 ClearPath Mainframes

These items are kept in PKZIPped FTPack format. Download by clicking on the name; then unZIP, upload to the Unisys as an ASCII file, and @ADD the file. In most cases, a temporary file will be created, with the @USE name UPF$ attached, which you can copy as needed to save. Files will normally include a <name>/README element, a <name>/DOC element, and a <name>/HTM element, which may be downloaded as <name>.htm for viewing with a browser.
{Note on "View DOC" links: To conserve space, some larger DOCs have been omitted or reduced to their Introductions. Also, most browser-viewable <name>/HTM elements are created at unpack time rather than included with the ZIP.}
Programs on this site are TDATE$-ready, in keeping with timestamp changes introduced in CP 15.0 and later; that is, they will recognize either TDATE$ or MODSWTIME timestamps. When creating elements they will generate timestamps in the site's current format.
♦DB32 mod. Programs so marked have had code updated to prevent ambiguities when interpreting the DB32 (Quarter Word Mode) Designator Register bit on SAIL systems, most likely encountered in old MASM utilities when testing for it (TP,T1 $) or switching between Fieldata and ASCII in remote EX character load/store sequences.

•Enhancements for level 12R6 include the SELECT and COUNT commands.
•Enhancements for level 12R5 include the C option for the QUEUE command, which allows the accumulation of successive QUEUE calls as another way of bypassing the 169-file limit. Up to about 6200 files may be retrieved.
•Enhancements for level 12R4 include the QGENF command, which provides the ability to list queue files directly from SYS$*GENF$ (read access required), thus bypassing the 169-file limitation of ER SMOQUE$ and allowing a maximum of over 252,000 files.
•Enhancements for level 12R3 include forward and backward paging, support for SHARED as well as local MFD, the COPY command for elts or queue files, ON SNAP mode for most modes, HELP for individual commands, FUSION full screen mode for output display, full support for all types and sizes of program files (PF, LPF, LEPF), and a new mode for object module entry points.
