data processing function" (emphasis added). For the reasons
expressed
supra with regard to claim 1, we will not sustain the
rejection of claim 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as being
anticipated by Ferguson.
Independent claim 11, like claim 1, recites the steps of
"transferring control to an input function in the computer for
retrieving all input data into the memory of the computer
prior to performing the data processing function," and
"transferring control to an output function in the computer
for retrieving all of the output data from the memory of the
computer and storing the output data prior to terminating the
data processing function." For the reasons expressed supra
with regard to claim 1, we will not sustain the rejection of
claim 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as being anticipated by
Ferguson.
Claims 2, 3, and 5 depend from independent claim 1;
claims 7-10 depend from independent claim 6; and claims 12-15
