File No. S360-32 OS GC28-6586-11 Systems Reference Library IBM System/360 Operating System: Utilities This publication discusses the capabilities of the IBM System/360 Operating System utility programs and the control statements used with each program. These programs are used by programmers responsible for organizing and maintaining operating system data. Three types of utility programs are discussed: system utilities and data set utilities, which are used directly with the System/360 Operating System; and independent utilities, which operate outside the operating system. System utilities deal with operating system control data. Data set utilities manipulate data sets at the record level and above. Independent utilities initialize, dump, and restore direct access volumes. Information concerning Model 195 support is for planning purposes only.
