File No. S360-20 Form C24-3420-0 Systems Reference Library 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.
