IBM System/360 Basic Programming Support and
IBM Basic Operating System/360
Programming Systems Summary
This publication describes the general function, capabilities, and
application of the programming support of IBM System/360 at
the 8K and 16K levels. At these levels of support, Basic Operating
System/360 consists of a comprehensive set of commercial,
scientific, and process control programming aids operating under
supervisory control and coordination of an integrated control
program. The IBM System/360 Basic Programming Support con-
sists of programs and programming aids (distinct from Basic
Operating System/360 or Operating System/360) providing pro-
gramming support for small card or tape configurations of IBM
System/360.
For a list of associated publications and their abstracts, see the
IBAf System/360 Bibliography, Form A22-6822.
Preface
This publication serves as a general introduction to
the IBM System/360 Basic Programming Support and
the IBM Basic Operating System/360. Because many
combinations of programming and computing facili-
ties are possible with IBM System/360, no attempt is
made in this summary to relate the programming fa-
cilities to specific machine requirements. Only the
minimum machine configurations (see Appendices) for
each of the programming facilities are included.
Summary descriptions of programs are provided in
this publication. More detailed information can be
found in other publications. These publications are
abstracted and listed by form number in IBM System/
360, Bibliography, Form A22-6822.
Copies of this and other IBM publications can be obtained through IBM Branch Offices.
A form has been provided at the back of this publication for readers' comments. If the form has been
