Applying Force File Protection (SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 Processors)
Applying force file protection applies to SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 processor files.
Force file protection must be selected before performing a Test Edits or Program

Forcing External Input Data File Bits
Installing forces on input data file bits only affects the input force table. However,
when forces are enabled the input data file and the program logic are also affected.
The effects on the program logic of installed and enabled forces can be seen in both
the REM Run and any of the REM Test modes.
The following is the online Monitor File display for a processor file. The status line
indicates that the processor is in the REM Run mode and no forces exist. The cursor
is located on instruction I:0/1 in rung 0.
