GC30-2026-0 OS Conversion Guide from QTAM or BTAM Systems to TCAM This publication provides a summary of the information needed to convert a QT AM or BT AM system to TCAM. It briefly describes the similarities and differences between QTAM and TCAM and between BTAM and TCAM. The first section describes QT AM macros, macro operands, service facilities, internals, and their TCAM replacements. A working knowledge of QTAM is required for understanding this part of the publication. The second section describes BT AM macros, macro operands, additional facilities, and their TCAM equivalents. Concepts of TCAM as they relate to BT AM are provided as reprogramming aids. A working knowledge of BTAM is required for understanding this part of the publication. Both sections are meant to be used in conjunction with the IBM System/360 Operating System Telecommunica- tions Access Method (TeAM) Programmer's Guide and Reference Manuai, GC30-2024.
