6. If vou are preparing real or virtual card decks to send to your own
or another user's virtual card reader, you may insert READ control
cards to designate filenames, filetypes, and filemode
numbers, to be assigned to the disk file(st. A READ control card must begin in column 1 and has the format:
:READ filename filetype filemode Ea=h field must be separated by at least one blank; the second
character of the filemode field, if specified, must be a valid
filemode number (0 through 5). The filemode letter is ignored when
this file is read, since the mode letter is determined by
specifications on the READCARD command line. 7. To send a real card deck to your own or another user's virtual card re:lder, you must punch a CP ID card to precede the deck. The ID cacd has the keyword ID or USERID in column 1, followed by the
userid you want to receive the file and optionally, spool file
class and name designations; for example: 1D NEWYOFK CLASS A NAME BIG APPLE Ea=h field must be separated from the others by at least one blank. 8. When a file in the reader has a filemode letter of "A", the
readcard command uses the filemode number of the read control card.
The default value is only true for a filemode of "A". Any other
filemode letter (B, C, etc.) specified without a filemode number in
the readcard command, defaults to a filemode number of one. 156 CMS Command and Macro Reference
