IBM System/3S0 Operating System
Supervisor Services and Macro
Instructions
The title of this manual was formerly IBM System/360
Operating Supervisor services. The descriptions of the
supervisor macro instructions formerly found in IBM
System/360 Operating system Supervisor and Data
Management Macro Instructions, GC28-6647 have been
added.
This manual describes how to use the services of the
supervisor, the macro instructions used to request
these services, and the linkage conventions used by the
control program to provide these services. Included in
the services of the supervisor are program management,
task creation and management, and main-storage
management.
Intended mainly for the programmer coding in
assembler language, this book is a guide to using the
macro instructions described. This book does not
discuss macro instructions used for graphics,
teleprocessing, optical readers, optical -
reader-sorters, or magnetic character readers. These
macro instructions are discussed in separate
publications that are listed in the IBM System/360
Bibliography, GA22-6822.
