Collection search - Election results [textual record (electronic)]

The original tapes supplied by CS of C were EBCDIC with ASC11 labels written on a UNIVAC machine. There were six bytes of garbage at the end of each block which had to be stripped. The last block of each data set was duplicated so the duplicate was stripped. Character data was upper case with the first letters of some words being lower case characters. In order to print all characters as upper case, IEBGENER was used to put a control byte at the beginning of each record and WATGUIDE used to print with conversion. This sort of thing will depend upon local software.
