    This paper discusses a generalized concatenated coding system using unit- memory convolutional codes (UMC-codes) as inner codes and Reed-Solomon codes as outer codes. The Viterbi-algorithm is modified in order to give a required tradeoff between errors and erasures in the output from the inner decoder. Bounds on the probability of errors and erasures as well as on the complexity are derived.
