    Greetings, Unisys folk.

    I'm trying to learn what I can about Unisys MASM, and saw mention of Mike Maddox's "Unisys 1100/2200 MASM" book (https://openlibrary.org/books/OL11697171M/Unisys_1100_2200_MASM).

    Apparently another resource is "UNIVAC 1100 MASM PROGRAMMING - A Basic Approach" by Richard Weisgerber and John Odom.

    Are either (or both) of these books available from someone in this group? It sounds like they could be really helpful.

    Hi there,

    I've just cleaning my place and found a copy of Mike's Programming Guide. Drop me a note (prefer email) if interested. Rgds

    Mine is gone, but a friend also has one of those books which he doesn't need anymore. Email me if interested, then I can put you guys in touch.

    Do they still do DMS-1100? Has it changed much from 8R2?

    :)
    There are some companies. My last job was joining Unisys DBA, DB2 DBA and MS SQL DBA to convert to MS SQL server and created SSRS reports to look the same. I did not believe I could do it. There were so many store procedures. Many thing were in-house. I
    could not remember even how to compile and map. I'm refreshing my skill set via PS2200. :) My first job with UNIVAC I followed student guide and up and ran. :)

    Based on the freely available documentation, it is still supported.
    There is at least one change; It is now called DMS 2200. :-)

    The DDL language manual says it refers to level 20R3. I have no idea
    how much it has changed since 8R2, but the date on the manual is 2010.

    After 8R2 came 8R3, I think that line went as far as 8R3M.
    This all happened around the time Sperry became Unisys so I can't remember the differences between the two but they were relatively minor.
    Did 8R2 have the TIMER background run controlling the common Dbank? 8R3 certainly did. 8R3 could also be set up for single-thread mode, fast updates with physical exclusive use rather than any other kind of locking. It did not work very well with TIP-
    DMS files (no X-Use with TIP, fixed file numbers for the TIP Quick-Look files so only one run at a time was possible).

    9R1 was released while the 8R3 versions were still being maintained, this was the first UDS level. I never used that level but did use 10R1.
    The UDS model has the following components:
    - UDSC (UDS Control)
    - RDMS (Relational DB)
    - DMS (optional)
    - DD (Data Dictionary) subsequently called UREP (Universal Repository, uses RDMS)
    - SFS (Shared MSAM files, most sites did not install it)
    - MCB (Message Common Bank)
    All run together with a unified Locking / Recovery / Rollback mechanism using IRU (Integrated Recovery Utility), something which requires a large number of common banks.
    The products UDSC, RDMS, DD/UREP, DMS and SFS were always installed together in that order, a new level of one meant a new level of the others (except SFS?). Most of the time a new IRU level was also necessary, the MCB was more independent for years.
    Most DMS levels were virtually unchanged from their predecessors, there was a lot of activity on the UDSC, RDMS and IRU fronts.
    I can't remember when UDSC and RDMS were converted to Extended Mode, the IRU went that way around 2003 and the MCB around 2017 which was far too late.
    Most timestamps have been converted to Double-Word Nanoseconds-since-1899-12-31 because TDATE$ only handles up to the end of 2027. There is a TDATE$ replacement which is (days-since-1899-12-31, seconds), that should maybe have been introduced earlier.

    The IQ+ DMS Database Reorganisation Suite still uses DMS 8R3 Single-Thread mode even now, not sure how that works with the TDATE$ problems.
