The Job Entry Subsystem (JES) is a component of IBM's MVS mainframe operating systems that is responsible for managing batch workloads. In modern times, there are two distinct implementations of the Job Entry System called JES2 and JES3. They are designed to provide efficient execution of batch jobs.
CLIST (Command List) (pronounced "C-List") is a procedural programming language for TSO in MVS systems. It originated in OS/360 Release 20 and has assumed a secondary role since the availability of Rexx in TSO/E Version 2. The term CLIST is also used for command lists written by users of NetView. [1]
Job Control Language (JCL) is a scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems to instruct the system on how to run a batch job or start a subsystem. [1] The purpose of JCL is to say which programs to run, using which files or devices [2] for input or output, and at times to also indicate under what conditions to skip a step.
TSO is most commonly used by mainframe system administrators and programmers. It provides: A text editor [2] Batch job support, including completion notification; Debuggers for some programming languages used on System/360 and later IBM mainframes; Support for other vendors' end-user applications, for example for querying IMS and DB2 databases
On May 19, 1992, IBM announced [10] DFSMS/MVS, 5695-DF1, replacing MVS/Data Facility Product (MVS/DFP) Version 3, 5665-XA3, Data Facility Hierarchical Storage Manager (DFHSM) Version 2, 5665-329 and Data Facility Data Set Services (DFDSS) Version 2, 5665-327. DFSMS/MVS also replaced utilities and service aids.
MVS/370 is a generic term for all versions of the MVS operating system prior to MVS/XA. [ NB 6 ] The System/370 architecture, at the time MVS was released, supported only 24-bit virtual addresses, so the MVS/370 operating system architecture is based on a 24-bit address.
As it is an assembly language, BAL uses the native instruction set of the IBM mainframe architecture on which it runs, System/360. The successors to BAL use the native instruction sets of the IBM mainframe architectures on which they run, including System/360 , System/370 , System/370-XA , ESA/370 , ESA/390 , and z/Architecture .
SVC is a two byte instruction with the hexadecimal operation code 0A; the second byte of the instruction, the SVC number, indicates the specific request. [2] The SVC number can be any value from 0 to 255, with the particular SVC number being up to the implementer of the operating system, e.g. on IBM's MVS, SVC 3 is used to terminate a program, while on the UNIVAC VS/9 and Fujitsu BS2000 ...
