The name of the Service for the

TRACE

service type as it has been defined in the Algorithm Definition. For example,

SERVICE-DEFINITION
NAME=TRACEP
*
TYPE=TRACE
ALGORITHM=PERSON

The name will be either 8 bytes if fixed in length, or up to 32 bytes if variable in length. Refer to the person responsible for defining and customizing the Algorithms.

This parameter is filled in by the Service to indicate the success or otherwise of the Call, a value of

00

in the first two positions indicates that all was well, any other value flags a warning or an error. For a description on how to check Response Codes, turn to the

How an Application Should Test the Response Code

section.

Defines the

TRACE

Function. At present the

TRACE

Service only supports one function so this parameter should be specified as a blank function name, i.e. two asterisks, as follows;

**

This is the name to be Traced.

The length of this parameter must be the same as defined in this service’s Algorithm Definition

NAME-LENGTH

parameter.

This is the name after physical cleaning by the Cleaning and Character Set rules defined for this Service’s Algorithm. This returned Cleaned name reflects the result of the early Cleaning only.

CLEANED-NAME

must have the same length as NAME-IN.

The expanded Words-stack has a 64 byte header and entries of 64 bytes each. The header has these fields:

Offset	Size	Description
0	2	Words-stack entries count
2	1	Compound name found indicator (value 1 or 0)
3	3	Major Marker start position
6	3	Major Marker end position
9	2	Major word position in stack
11	53	Filler for the rest of the header

While each entry has these fields:

Offset	Size	Description
0	24	Word, same as Formatting
24	1	Word type, same as Formatting
25	1	Word original type, this field is used for two different purposes: It indicates the Word type as it was before changing it as a result of a Formatting rule (like making a Code into a Word or changing a Word to a Major). If a word is deleted then it indicates the Edit-list type of the rule that caused it to be deleted.
26	1	Word is a common Major, C for Common, U for Uncommon.
27	1	Word is a common Minor, C for Common, U for Uncommon
28	3	Word start position in cleaned name, position start at 000 for the first position in the name.
31	3	Word end position in cleaned name
34	2	Word category
36	2	Word Scale as a Major
38	2	Word Scale as a Minor
40	24	Filler for the rest of the entry

The maximum number of entries is as specified in the Algorithm definition with the

WORDS-STACK-SIZE=

directive. Word-types are as defined in the

Nameset

section.

Each time an Edit-list rule is executed it deposits a category name into the Categories list, these category names consist of two characters that form a mnemonic for the category type, for example:

PTPPPR.

has a personal title (PT), a prefix word (PP) and a prefix replace word (PR). These categories are defined in the Edit-list Definition File. A period terminates the list.
