Frances E Holberton, Elizabeth G Parker · 1973
NBS FORTRAN TEST PROGRAMSTlie NBS FORTRAN test programs, written in Standard FORTRAN, are designed to test whetlier a FORTRAN compiler accepts the forms and interpretations of the FORTRAN language as described in the American National Standard FORTRAN document X3. 9-1966.The test programs are recorded on magnetic tape in approximately 14,500 punch card images, and comprise 116 test units.The test units may be used as separate executable FORTRAN programs, or may be linked end to end with other test units, with a minimum of user effort, to improve operating efficiency.An additional copy of these 116 test units structured into 14 executable programs and tlie documentation supporting the test programs are included in the distribution.Tlie program tape containing both Version 1 (116 executable test units) and Version 3 (14 executable programs containing the 116 test units) is available in 800 cpi recording density in the following forms: 7 track, even parity, BCD recorded from FORTRAN H set punch card code (See Appendix D X3. 9-1966) 9 track, odd parity, EBCDIC recorded from the American National Standard punch card code 9 track, odd parity, ASCII recorded from the American National Standard punch card code iii
