ICS(ID:8000/)IBM NAA data retrieval systemfor Information Control System IBM NAA data retrieval system References: In the past, computerized data files have been designed and programmed largely to meet the record keeping needs of the user. It has usually been painful, to say the least, to change such programs and file structures. Now the field is recognizing that more flexibility is essential. So "Data management" systems are being developed by which data files may be created or restructured much more easily than in the past, and which readily perform common file processing Mctions. Four such systems are analyzed in this paper: GE Integrated Data Store (IDS); Computer Command and Control Multi-List; Auerbach Data Manager-1 (DM-1); NAA-IBM Information Control System (ICS). |
