File No. 8370-36 Order No. GC20-1804-3 IBM Virtual Machine Facility/370: Command Language Guide Systems for General Users Release 2 PLC 13 This publication provides general users with the basic infor- mation they need to use the CP and CMS command languages of VM/370. General users are those users who program, test, and execute applications in a virtual machine. VM/370 (Virtual Machine Facility/370) is an operating system that manages the resources of a single System/370 computer so that multiple computing systems (virtual machines) appear to exist. VM/370 consists of a Control Program (CP), which manages the real computer, a Con- versational Monitor System (CMS), which is a general- purpose conversational time-sharing system that executes in a virtual machine, and a Remote Spooling Communica- tions Subsystem (RSCS), which spools files to and from geographically remote locations. This publication has two parts and several appendixes. Part 1 is the usage information; it contains the rules for using the command languages and information about vir- tual disks, CMS files, and virtual machine operation. Part 2 is the reference information; it describes each of the CP and CMScommands for general users. The appendixes include information about the functions of VM/370 commands, problem program debugging, the CMS Batch Facility, CMS macro instructions, and CMS filetype and filemode conventions.
