Description

A 3-disk set (-1S/-2S/-3S naming, single density), of which only PART1 and PART3 have been found — see the product overview for the gap analysis.

Floppy volume Contents
10177H00-1S DESCRIPTION-FILE:DESC (8 pages) · COBOL-500-H00:LINK/:DSEG/:PSEG (6/43/85 pages) — the compiler domain · SCRATCH-SEG-01:LINK/:DSEG/:PSEG (empty placeholders)
10177H00-2S not found — see product overview
10177H00-3S ISAMRT-I00:MODE (3 pages) · ISAMRT-I00:BRF (14 pages) · ISAM-SERVICE-I00:PROG (65 pages) · ISAM-INTER-I00:PROG (50 pages) — an ISAM (Indexed Sequential Access Method) add-on, not part of the compiler domain itself; corresponds to the related product ND-10343 ISAM for ND-500

Confirmed by downloading both images (MD5 687fb0375b19b9badbe05ef29e49be86 for -1S, 61ff11c1133dd0a81e0e75ee437d4e39 for -3S) and reading with ndtool -t. No :MODE install script on either disk.

Installation procedure — INFERRED, NOT CONFIRMED

No install script exists on either disk found, and no PD sheet exists for this revision. The later ND-210177J02 revision (see ../../ND-210177/ND-210177J02/README.md) does carry real, decoded :MODE install files for the equivalent domain+library+ISAM combination — the procedure below adapts that pattern to H00's file names, with the gap left where PART2 (the presumed library) would slot in:

  1. Copy the compiler domain off PART1 (mirroring the recovery-path pattern already documented for the ND-500 Linkage-Loader, see ../../../INSTALL-ND-LINKAGE-LOADER-AND-BACKUP-SYSTEM.md §4a-VERIFIED): 
    @ENTER-DIRECTORY 10177H00-1S,FLOPPY-DISC-1,0,
@COP-FIL "DESCRIPTION-FILE:DESC",(SYSTEM)DESCRIPTION-FILE:DESC
@COP-FIL "COBOL-500-H00:LINK",(SYSTEM)COBOL-500-H00:LINK
@COP-FIL "COBOL-500-H00:DSEG",(SYSTEM)COBOL-500-H00:DSEG
@COP-FIL "COBOL-500-H00:PSEG",(SYSTEM)COBOL-500-H00:PSEG
  2. PART2 would presumably load the runtime library into the domain here, via a Linkage-Loader mode file analogous to J02's COBOL-LIB-J02:MODE — Open-Segment, Total-Segment-Load <library-domain>, Close-Segment. Not available for H00.
  3. Load the ISAM add-on from PART3, if needed, following the same Linkage-Loader Total-Segment-Load pattern J02 uses for its own bundled ISAM files.

Do not treat the above as verified — step 2 is a placeholder for missing content, not a real procedure.

Configuration / post-install

Unknown.
