System Generation
System generation is a process that generates an IBM
System/360 Operating System adapted to both the machine
configuration and the data processing requirements of
an installation. The system generation process is
performed under the control of an existing IBM
System/360 Operating System. This publication provides
information on the computing system and operating
system requirements for system generation, the initial-
ization of system volumes and data sets, the macro-
instructions used in specifying system generation, and
the methods of including user-written programs in the
operating system.
