GESNUM - generate a SNUMB.

Usage:

mme     gesnum

Where:

Q register
must contain zeroes in bits 0-29. Bits 30-36 must contain a single BCD character that will be added to the SNUMB as an identifier. Valid identifiers are Z for Spawn, and T, U, V, or W for time-sharing.

Description:

MME GESNUM generates an unused SNUMB, based on the identifier in the Q register, as well as the date, the time, and a random incrementing factor. When MME GESNUM returns, the Q register will contain the SNUMB as five BCD characters, left-justified. The identifier that was passed to MME GESNUM in the Q register will be the last character of the SNUMB. Bits 30-35 of the Q register will contain octal 17 when MME GESNUM returns.
