FLOW-MATIC

Takes You Directly from Flow Chart

to Finished Proglam

UNIVACFLOW-MATICis the most far-reaching development ever offered for automatic computer programming. It provides, for the h t time, a means whereby the flow chart of the systems expert can be translated automatically, at electronic speed, into the language of the UNIVAC I1Data-Automation System.

To program a new application, the user merely describes his systems flow chart in the English-language instructions of FLOW-MATIC. These ad as a signalling index to the computer routines of the FLOW-MATIClibrary. When read by the UNIVAC system, the instructions cause the computer to generate for itself the various subroutines re- quired to process the problem. It then assembles these subroutines into a finishedprogram and records the program on magnetic tape.

A Tgpica.l FLOW-MATZCUser, After Field Tests, Sumxmwhes These OutstamdingAdvamtages:

"The chief advantage of such a system over pre- vious approaches to the problem is that the use of English words describing the processes and the items concerned permits various levels of manage- ment and people most familiar with the business processes to transmit their ideas from system flow

charts directly into the running programs.

"FLOW-MATIC in reducing will be instrumental program preparation time. This is accomplished by the fact that the task of writing C-10 coding can be replaced by writing English pseudo-code. Fur-ther, the method of writing pseudo-code can be easily taught to clerical workers.

"Debugging time on the computer will be ap- preciably reduced."
