EDITSPEC: System Manual. Volume VIII. Programmers Manual,

Abstract : The EDITSPEC System is an automated system designed to produce construction specifications from Corps of Engineers Guide Specifications. The System uses one central computer and a communications network to provide remote terminal access by Corps offices, nationwide to a central data base. This volume provides programmers with the procedures to master the EDITSPEC system and to add new features to the system. EDITSPEC internal character representation and command processing are presented first. The standard application commons and subroutines are described next. The required access methods to tables are then given. The last chapter provides the suggested method for adding new functional commands to the system. (Author)
