This manual describes the programs in the computer program library, including the use of the library and the function and format of the programs
The guide explains how to access and operate the computer program library developed by the Department of Surveying Engineering at the University of New Brunswick. It includes instructions for listing programs, invoking library subprograms, and running main library routines.
Additional sections cover differences between the WATFIV teaching environment and standard FORTRAN, as well as sample JCL code for executing library programs on mainframe systems.
Enter the program name after the "//SYSIN..." line; the manual shows an example that lists the ALERT program.
Include the line "//LKED.USERLIB" after your program to have the computer search the library for the needed subprograms.
WATFIV is a pedagogical tool, while FORTRAN is used for real‑world problem solving; library programs are written in FORTRAN and may not run under WATFIV.
It provides instruction in the use of the department's computer program library and a descriptive directory of the programs.
