A control volume pointer entry can appear only in volume indexes. It
is 18 bytes long and contains four fields.
Field 1: Name Field (8 bytes) -- contains a high level index name that
appears in the volume index of the control volume identified in field 4.

Field 4: Control Volmne Serial Number (6 bytes) -- contains the serial
number of the control volume whose volume index contains an entry
identifying the high level index name in field 1.
An alias entry can appear in voluITe indexes only. An alias entry is
20 bytes long and contains four fields.
Field 1: Name Field (8 bytes) -- contains the alias of the high level
index identified in field 2.
Field 2: Address Field (3 bytes) -- contains the relative track address
of the first block of the index named in field 4. The address is in the
form TTR.
Field 3: Half-word Count (1 byte) -- contains a binary four to indicate
that four half words follow.
Field 4: True Name Field (8 bytes) -- contains the name of the index
whose alias appears in field 1. The address of the index is in field 2.
A generation index pointer entry can appear in all indexes except
generation indexes. The entry is 16 bytes long and contains six fields.
Field 1: Name Field (8 'bytes) -- contains the name of the generation
index whose address is contained in field 2.
Field 2: Address Field (3 bytes) -- contains the relative track address
of the generation index named in field 1. The address is in the form
TTR.
Field 3: Half-word Count (1 byte) -- contains a binary two to indicate
that two half words follow.
Field 4: Flags (1 byte) -- contains flags that govern the uncataloging
of data sets as specified by the DELETE and EMPTY options of the INDEX
macro-instruction. The options and their hexadecimal codes are as
follows:
