VirtualStorage Personal Computing VSPC was a service offered by IBM in the late 1970s and early 1980s ref In Germany, the service was announced in October, 1979 according to http www.computerwoche.de heftarchiv 1979 42 1194110 an article in Computerwoche dated 1979 10 19 . ref . From a data terminal, users could run both interactive processes and batch job s on remote computing hardware located in IBM service centres to which they were connected e.g. by telephone lines using modem s. Among the programming language s offered were VSPC variants of BASIC , FORTRAN , APL programming language APL and PL 1 . VSPC became obsolete following the invention of the Personal Computer as computing power became available to the individual user locally. In a campus setting, VSPC offered users the ability to create and submit programs to an IBM or compatible mainframe without using punched cards, though the programs were still submitted as card images, and programs so submitted needed all the usual IBM Job Control Language JCL statements to access the mainframe batch submission and resource allocation processes. Output from a job submitted through VSPC could be routed to a printer, or back to the user s VSPC account, though in general the output would be too wide to easily view on a VSPC terminal. Although IBM selectric terminals were supported with special typeballs for APL programming , most VSPC interaction was through half duplex IBM 3270 and compatible terminals. To use VSPC for APL programming, required a special terminal which implemented APL symbols in addition to the usual EBCDIC characters. References references Category IBM services ... more details

Unreferenced stub date December 2009 Mainframe I O access methods In IBM mainframe operating system s, a queued sequential accessmethod QSAM is one of the accessmethod s for Computer file file s, or more properly data set IBM mainframe data sets . QSAM files are unkeyed, with the storage record record s placed one after another, according to entry order. A program can process these files only sequential access sequentially , retrieving with the code READ code statement or code GET code macro instruction records in the same order as they are in the file. Each record is placed after the preceding record. QSAM files can be on magnetic tape data storage tape , direct accessstorage device s DASDs , unit record devices, and terminals. QSAM processing is best for tables and intermediate storage. To process QSAM files in a program, a programmer could use COBOL language statements that Identify and describe the QSAM files in the code ENVIRONMENT DIVISION code and the code DATA DIVISION code . Process the records in these files in the code PROCEDURE DIVISION code . After a record is created, its length or its position in the file cannot be changed, and it cannot be deleted. QSAM files can, however, be updated on DASD using code REWRITE code . The record definitions that are coded in COBOL program and the length of the variables read into and written from determines the amount of data transferred. You can also access byte stream files in the HFS using QSAM. These files are byte oriented sequential files with no record structure, modelled after those used in Unix like and Microsoft Windows Windows systems. Such files cannot be updated using code REWRITE code . mainframe compu stub operating system stub Category IBM Mainframe computer operating systems Category Computer file systems Category Computer file formats ... more details

In BDAM, the programmer has complete control of the organization of the file. Placement and retrieval is done by directly accessing the block on the device physical or within the file extent relative BDAM is available on OS 360 , OS VS2 , MVS , z OS , and related high end operating systems. BDAM as with basic sequential accessmethod BSAM accesses the entire physical data record. BDAM provides no organizational assistance. There is no index or structure to the file except as programmed by the application. In many applications, a hashing or randomizing function was used to assign the block address based on a key in the data. If a collision occurred, that is, that that particular block was also used by another key, the key was rehashed until a free block was found. When a file was sparsely occupied, every record could be uniquely located. As the file filled, some records required additional attempts to retrieve them adversely affecting the performance of the application. BDAM requires that the file be allocated with the DSORG DA Direct Access dataset organization and SPACE allocationunit, numberofunits ,CONTIG The file must be of fixed size with contiguous space .

Mainframe I O access methods In IBM mainframe operating system s, a basic partitioned accessmethod BPAM is an accessmethod for libraries with a specific structure, called partitioned dataset s PDS . BPAM is used in OS 360 , OS VS2 , MVS , z OS , and others. A PDS consists of members that are internally identical to data set IBM mainframe sequential data sets a member cannot be a PDS itself , registered in a list called directory , and the combination of members and directory is a single dataset on disk. The directory contains a list of member s names max. 8 characters and member s addresses. Addresses are relative to the start of the dataset in order to allow the PDS to be moved to a different disk location. While in theory such libraries can store any type of data, they are typically are used to store executable programs, or load modules , or what is called binaries in modern terms. The operating system requires all executable programs to be stored in libraries, because directory entries contain additional attribute information for load modules. While executable programs typically are written to libraries by utility software such as a linkage editor and loaded by operating functions, BPAM also provides an API to programmers to access such libraries directly. The BPAM API is fairly similar to basic sequential accessmethod BSAM , but it adds functionality to process directories. The closest parallel for PDSes in other operating systems such as Unix or Windows is the static library , such as produced by the ar Unix ar utility. In fact, the nomenclature for libraries in make software make , lib member , is directly derived from OS 360 . It may be compared to a directory, that can contain only files, no subdirectories, and at the same time that is physically stored in a single file. The need for libraries relates to the fact that mainframe operating systems until very recently ... for a subdivision of some datasets into members. compu storage stub mainframe compu stub Category ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2006 Mainframe I O access methods Basic Telecommunications AccessMethod BTAM was a low level programming interface specified by IBM for use on the IBM System 360 for sending and receiving data through telecommunication lines. Later, IBM specified higher level interfaces QTAM , VTAM and entire architectures Time Sharing Option TSO , IBM Systems Network Architecture SNA . BTAM requires the application program or transaction processing system to handle almost every detail of the protocol. This is harder than using a higher layer protocol, but it permits interfacing to non standard devices in non standard ways. At the time BTAM was introduced, there was little standardization anyway. Like most of the System 360 programming interfaces, BTAM continued to be supported in later iterations of the system architecture. IBM finally withdrew support for BTAM in 2000 . An accessmethod for terminals BTAM was an accessmethod for interactively communicating with local or remote terminals usually connected on the specific unit record channel zero. BTAM dynamically built Channel command word CCW s for reading, writing and Polling computer science polling terminals and dealt with specific responses from those terminals, according to the success or failure of the communication channel. Key role in Transaction processing systems BTAM was a key component in IBM s early transaction processing systems such as MTCS , CICS and Information Management System IMS and underpinned the rise of online transaction processing for many large commercial Bank s and Insurance companies.
