test
descriptions.
SADIE
is
a
stand-alone
diagnostic
executive
and
diagnostic
library.
It
provides
thorough
testing
of
all
mainframe
com-
ponents.
SADIE
is
based
on
the
construction,
modification,
storage,
and
execution
of
test
lists.
The commands
to
operate
on
these
test
lists
are
displayed
in
a
menu-oriented
format
on
the
CRT
to
minimize
the
documentation
support
re-
quired
and
to
allow
a
first-time
user
to
execute
SADIE
without
constant
reference
to
an
instruction
manual.
The
SADIE
program
code
and
associated
data
sets
reside
on
the
SADIE
diagnostic
tape
cartridge,
which
is
inserted
in
the
tape
slot
and
run
whenever
degraded
system
operational
capa-
bility
is
suspected.
The
object
code
for
SADIE
resides
in
the
lower
part
of
a memory
segment;
the
diagnostic
test
re-
sides
in
the
upper
part
of
the
segment.
5.11.1.
Purpose
of
SADIE: The
basic
purpose
of.
SADIE
is
to
test
the·
system
hardware.
To
do
this,
SADIE
allows
con-
struction
and
execution
of
test
lists."
A
test
list
consists
of
lines
executed
sequentially.
A
line
contains
either
a
test
or
a
control
statement,
up
to
four
parameters
necessary
for
execution
of
the
test
or
contrQl
statement,
and
a
re-
petiti6n
count
for
all
noninteractive
tests.
Normal
sequen-
tial
execution
of
a
test
list
can
be
altered
by
a
GOTO
con-
trol
statement
or
interrupted
by
a
PAUSE
control
statement
in
the
list.
There
are
control
statements
to
specify
line-
printer
test
output
as
well
as
the
visual
display
output.
Other
control
statements
specify
that that
the
tests
that
follow
should
pause
on
a
hard-error
condition.
Every
test
list
includes
a
termination
line
consisting
of
an
EOL
(end-
of-list)
in
the
test-name
field
of
the
display.
Single
tests
can
also
be
executed.
SADIE
considers
a
single
test
to
be
a
two-line
test,
where
the
second
line
is
the
EOL.
As
a
test
list
executes,
errors
are
logged
into
a
cumulative
error
log
and
an
error
summary
log
for
the
test.
The
cumu-
lative
log
contains
the
last
20
error
messages.
The
error
summary
contains
the
number
of
laps
completed,
the
number
of
hard
and
soft
errors,
and
the
completion
status
of
each
line
in
the
list.
Both
logs
remain
available
until
the
next
test
list
is
run
or
until
the
end
of
the
SADIE
session.
