Instruction File Address ad Length - You can assign the file to any usable
storage location in the data table. You may want to locate the file in the middle
to upper sections of the data table (addresses 0410-0421 in Figure 3.6). Choose
a file length in accordance with your programming requirements.

Result Address - The result address is the second address that you entered into
the instruction block. It is the location of the result word (Figure 3.6). The
result word is the location where the instruction momentarily stores the position
number of the file word that matches the match word (003 in this example).
Each time the instruction finds a match, it writes the BCD bit pattern of the new
position number over the old position number in the result word. The
instruction clears the result word after setting the done bit and after the next
false-to-true transition of the enable bit.
