Second Edition (February 1975)
This edition replaces the previous edition (numbered GC26-3838-0) and makes that edition
obsolete.
This edition applies both to Release 4 of OS/VS 1 and to Release 3 of OS/VS2, and to all
subsequent releases of either system unless othe.rwise indicated in new editions or technical
newsletters. (Information on enhanced VSAM under OS/VS2 is only for planning
purposes until the availability of the OS/VS VSAM Independent Component Release for
Release 3 of that system.)
Significant system changes are summarized under "Summary of Amendments" following
the list of figures. In addition, miscellaneous editorial and technical changes applicable to
either or both of OS/VS 1 and OS/VS2 have been made throughout the publication. Each
technical change is marked by a vertical line to the left of the change; there are no
significant changes for Release 3 of OS/VS2.

published in new editions or technical newsletters. Before using the publication, consult the
