Correct for me as well. We could manually type in the sequence numbers in 73-80, but it wasn't automatic.
And given that EVERY time you hit any character (including the space bar), it took about a third of a second for the mechanical movement to catch up - lots of people didn't bother. And lots of people who did weren't consistent about it. I wrote a resequencer in BASM in order to punch sequence numbers on fresh cards. Read in a deck - write out a deck with sequence numbers. The punch attached to the mainframe didn't have the same performance issues as the manual punch. Regards, Michael B.

This allows the programmer to configure their keypunch machine to automatically punch an auto-incrementing number in columns 73 through 80. That way, if you drop your deck, you run them through a card sorter. Ken Cornetet 812.482.8499<tel:812.482.8499> To err is human - to moo, bovine. From: Michael B.

I took Fortran (that was WATFOR, before any of that crazy Fortran-77 stuff) and BASM (IBM Basic Assembler) on punch cards. You want to see a grown man cry? See a punch-card operator drop his 1000-card deck while loading it into a punch card reader. Regards, Michael B.
