Restrictions on the Firm’s Behavior

SMS is a program package written in the higher programming language FORTRAN. More precisely, the lists printed in the text use an ASCII-FORTRAN version (UNIVAC level 6 R 1). The program is constructed for batch processing and includes approximately 3,400 cards. It is organized in two self-contained main programs in order to lower the core-storage requirements of the program package. The two main programs are called MONTE and HAUPT2. Since the latter is only used for statistical purposes, in Part II we will be solely concerned with MONTE and, above all, with its most important subroutine HAUPT, which contains the economic constructs of SMS. HAUPT itself consists of several subroutines, which in turn may call further subroutines; see fig. 3.1.1.
