IBM System/360 Operating System
Basic Graphic Programming Services for
IBM 2260 Display Station (Local Attachment)
Preliminary Specifications
This publication describes programming ser-
vices for using the IBM 2260 Display Station
with the System/360 Operating System. Included
are descriptions of macro-instructions for
input/output control and for Basic Attention
Handling, along with some general requirements
for using the display station effectively.
Although intended primarily for the program-
mer coding in System/360 assembler language.
portions of this publication are also of inter-
est to installation managers, system engineers,
system programmers, and others seeking general
information about programming the IBM 2260
Display Station.
