Abstract :
An approach to error-control coding is described for systems in which digit as well as symbol errors and erasures can occur, a symbol being a position-fixed group of digits. Codes that can deal with both types of errors and erasures simultaneously are constructed. A theoretical basis for determination of the error-control capacity of such codes is given
