Although the information in one chapter is sometimes related to information in another, all chapters have been written as separate and complete units. It is assumed that users of this publication are thoroughly familiar with the design of the operating system and its features. such information can be obtained in IBM System/360 Operating System: Introduction, GC28-6534. Each chapter contains its own introductory section and list of prerequisite publications. This organization has been used to reduce cross-referencing and to facilitate the addition of new chapters.
