Anyone have a guess what these instructions were/are?
The key instruction is TR. You also need a MVC if your program does
this
more than once. And, you'll need a DC if you don't use a literal.
One-time use (and really bad programming practice) result is in literal
field!
TR =x'09080706050403020100',AMOUNT

IIRC the model 30 & 1419 were exceeding time dependent you had x many
micro seconds to make the decision to tell the 1419 to direct the
document to the correct hopper. IIRC TR was one of the slower
instructions on the mod 30. Its been *YEARS* and I could be wrong but
TR could not be used (if you wanted to get the check into the right
sort bin).
Of course if you used it outside of the "window" you could use it all
you wanted.
