Research for MANPOWER

The MANPOWER program file consists of computer programs developed to facilitate machine extraction and processing of Five-Year Defense Program and other manpower data. The file includes routines for data file building, manipulation, and data transformation and analysis. A set of utility routines is described which allows the user to extract and execute any program on the MANPOWER file without having to handle any of the source program card-decks. Using these routines, the MANPOWER program file, and a data file, the entire process of building and analyzing a data bank could be accomplished as a single job. This system has been developed for use on Control Data 3400, 3600, and 3800 machines. Modificatiaons to some of the programs might be necessary if other equipment were used.
