user involved in each message.
TIP program file

SUPUR program files are containers for standard TIP programs; HVTIP program libraries
are containers for HVTIP program banks. Standard online program files can also be used
for standard TIP programs, but SUPUR program files are intended as replacements for
the online files.

Transaction processing methods are used in airline reservations, payroll, inventory, and
other applications for which fast data access and processing speed are required.
