Abstract
A data processing system comprising a memory receives data in the form of data blocks. Such a data block contains at least one data word and check bits. On the basis of the check bits it is vertified whether the data block contains reliable or unreliable data words. The unreliable data words are not written into the memory but are replaced by an unreliability indicator which is written into the memory at the address reserved for the unreliable dataword in question.
