VSPC is a program product that enables personnel—even those without previous computer experience—^to use a computer interactively through terminals. VSPC runs under the following IBM virtual storage operating systems: OS/VSl,OS/VS2 MVS,and DOS/VS. The purpose of this book is to enable managers, system programmers, and other interested persons to evaluate VSPC for use in their organization and to plan for installing and operating VSPC. It explains what VSPC is, how it's used, and what requirements must be met and what tasks must be performed to install, administer, and maintain it. Organization of the Book This book is organized into the following chapters: VSPC Quickly introduces the features of VSPC—both for OS/VS Release 2 and for the previous releases—and identifies the programs and machines that VSPC is used with. It is intended as an introduction for all readers. VSPC Programmiiig Overview: Briefly describes the facilities available to the VSPC programmer—the terminal user, the application programmer, and administrative personnel. It is intended as introductory information for all readers. Usang VSPC: Describes in more detail what a user can do with VSPC and how he does it. It is intended as an introduction for all readers. VSPC Tasks and Roles: Outlines the kinds of activities that take place when you install and operate VSPC and relates these activities to the people who do them. banning for VSPC: Identifies the objectives in using VSPC and the machine and storage requirements to meet those objectives. Insralling VSPC: Discusses system generation, VSPC library setup, and VSPC startup. Administering and Controlling the Use of VSPC: Discusses VSPC user enrollment, user libraries, security, and VSPC accounting. Maintaining VSPC: Discusses performance optimization, backup and recovery, and other tasks of VSPC library maintenance. Reference Material: Describes the VSPC publications and indicates who needs each one. This book also has a glossary of the technical terms used and an index. About This Book 3 As Updated 29 Feb 1980 ByTNLGN20-9316 Using the Book This book avoids distinctions in data processing terminology between DOS/VS and OS/VS. For example, the term "data set" is used without any note that "file" would be the proper term for DOS/VS. Browsing through the glossary after reading the first chapter may help you in reading the rest of the book. Related Publications VSFC publications are described under "Reference Materials."
