=head1 DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION

The following establishes the data general and content
requirements for the identified data item. 

=head1 TITLE

COMPUTER PROGRAMMING MANUAL (CPM) 

=head1 2. IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

DI-IPSC-81447 

=head1 3. DESCRIPTION/PURPOSE

The Computer Programming Manual (CPM) provides
information needed by a programmer to understand how to program
a given computer. This manual focuses on the computer itself,
not on particular software that will run on the computer. 
The CPM is intended for newly developed computers,
special-purpose computers, or other computers for which commercial
or other programming manuals are not readily available 

=head1 7. APPLICATION/INTERRELATIONSHIP

This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format
and content preparation instructions for the data product generated
by specific and discrete task requirements as delineated in the
contract.

This DID is used when the developer is tasked to
identify and record information needed to program the computer(s)
on which software was developed or on which it will run. 

The Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL)
should specify whether deliverable data are to be delivered on
paper or electronic media; are to be in a given electronic form
(such as ASCII, CALS, or compatible with a specified word processor
or other support software); may be delivered in developer format
rather than in the format specified herein; and may reside in
a computer-aided software engineering (CASE) or other automated
tool rather than in the form of a traditional document. 

This DID supersedes DI-MCCR-80021A. 

=head1 10. PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

=head2 10.1 General instructions.

=head2 10.1.1 Automated techniques

Use of automated techniques
is encouraged. The term 'document' in this DID means
a collection of data regardless of its medium. 

=head2 10.1.2 Alternate presentation styles

Diagrams, tables,
matrices, and other presentation styles are acceptable substitutes
for text when data required by this DID can be made more readable
using these styles. 

=head2 10.1.3 Title page or identifier with signature blocks.

The document shall include a title page containing, as applicable:
document number; volume number; version/revision indicator; security
markings or other restrictions on the handling of the document;
date; document title; name, abbreviation, and any other identifier
for the systems, subsystems, or items to which the document applies;
contract number; CDRL item number; organization for which the
document has been prepared; name and address of the preparing
organization; distribution statement; and signature blocks for
the developer representative authorized to release the document,
the acquirer representative authorized to approve the document,
and the dates of release/approval. For data in a database or other
alternative form, this information shall be included on external
and internal labels or by equivalent identification methods.

=head2 10.1.4 Table of contents. 

The document shall contain
a table of contents providing the number, title, and page number
of each titled paragraph, figure, table, and appendix. For data
in a database or other alternative form, this information shall
consist of an internal or external table of contents containing
pointers to, or instructions for accessing, each paragraph, figure,
table, and appendix or their equivalents. 

=head2 10.1.5 Page numbering/labeling. 

Each page shall contain
a unique page number and display the document number, including
version, volume, and date, as applicable. For data in a database
or other alternative form, files, screens, or other entities shall
be assigned names or numbers in such a way that desired data can
be indexed and accessed. 

=head2 10.1.6 Response to tailoring instructions. 

If a paragraph
is tailored out of this DID, the resulting document shall contain
the corresponding paragraph number and title, followed by 'This
paragraph has been tailored out.' For data in a database
or other alternative form, this representation need occur only
in the table of contents or equivalent. 

=head2 10.1.7 Multiple paragraphs and subparagraphs. 

Any section, paragraph, or subparagraph in this DID may be written
as multiple paragraphs or subparagraphs to enhance readability.

=head2 10.1.8 Standard data descriptions. 

If a data description
required by this DID has been published in a standard data element
dictionary specified in the contract, reference to an entry in
that dictionary is preferred over including the description itself.

=head2 10.1.9 Substitution of existing documents.

Commercial or other existing documents may be substituted for all or part
of the document if they contain the required data. 

=head2 10.2 Content requirements.

Content requirements begin on the following page. The numbers
shown designate the paragraph numbers to be used in the document.
Each such number is understood to have the prefix '10.2'
within this DID. For example, the paragraph numbered 1.1 is understood
to be paragraph 10.2.1.1 within this DID.

=head1 Scope.

This section shall be divided into the following paragraphs.

=head2 1.1 Identification.

This paragraph shall contain the manufacturer's name, model
number, and any other identifying information for the computer
system to which this document applies. 

=head2 1.2 Computer system overview.

This paragraph shall briefly state the purpose of the computer
system to which this document applies. 

=head2 1.3 Document overview.

This paragraph shall summarize the purpose and contents of
this manual and shall describe any security or privacy considerations
associated with its use. 

=head1 2.Referenced documents.

This section shall list the number, title, revision, and date
of all documents referenced in this manual. This section shall
also identify the source for all documents not available through
normal Government stocking activities. 

=head1 3. Programming environment.

This section shall be divided into paragraphs as appropriate
to provide the following information.
