GC26-3875-0 OS/VS2 MVS Data Management Services Guide
GC26-3875-0 File No. S370-30 Systems OS/VS2 MVS Data Management Services Guide Release 3.7 Includes the Following Selectable Units: Data Management VS2.03.808 3800 Printing Subsystem VS2.03.810 System Security Support 5752-832 PREFACE This book describes all IBM data management except for VSAM (virtual storage access method) and specialized applications such as the time sharing option (TSO), graphics, teleprocessing, optical character readers, optical reader-sorters, and magnetic character readers. These specialized applications are described in separate publications that are listed in IBM System/370 Bibliography,GC20-0001. To learn about VSAM or to write programs that create and process VSAM data sets, refer to: • Planning for Enhanced VSAM Under OS/VS, GC26-3842, which introduces VSAM and describes its concepts and functions. • OS/VS Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) Programmer's Guide, GC26-3838, which describes how to create VSAM data sets and code the macro instructions required to process them. • OS/VS2 Access Method Services, GC26-3841, describes the service program commands used to manipulate VSAM data sets. • OS/VS Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) Options for Advanced Applications, GC26-3819, which describes-applications not required in the normal use of VSAM. If you know how to write assembler-language programs and use job control statements, you can use this book and OS/VS2 MVS Data Management Macro Instructions, GC26-3873, to write programs that create and process data sets. To use this book you must have basic knowledge of the operating system as contained in OS/VS2 Release 3 Guide, GC28-0770; of assembler language as described in OS/VS—DOS/VS—VM/370 Assembler Language, GC33-4010; and of job control language (JCL) as explained in OS/VS2 JCL, GC28-0692.
