PREFACE

This

publication

consists

of

self-

contained

chapters,

each

of

which

provides

information

on

how

to

modify

or

extend

the

capabilities

of

the

IBM

System/360

Operating

System

control

program.

Although

the

information

in

one

chapter

is

sometimes

information

in

another,

all

chapters

have

been

written

as

separate

and

complete

units.

Each

chapter

contains

its

own

introductory

section

and

list

of

pre-

requisite

publications.

This

organization

has

been

used

to

reduce

cross-referencing

and

to

facilitate

the

addition

of

new

chapters.

The

chart

on

the

fold-out

associates

the

function

described

in

text

with

the

macro-instructions

needed

to

perform

the

function.

You

should

keep

the

open

when

reading

HOW

TO

READ

A

BLOCK

FROM

THB

CATALOG

To

read

either

an

index

block

or

a

block

indicating

the

volumes

on

Which

a

data

set

is

stored

(volume-list

block),

you

use

the

LOCATE

and

CAMLST

macro-instructions.

There

are

two

ways

to

specify

the

block

that

you

want

read

into

main

storage:

by

using

the

nawe

of

the

index

level

or

data

set,

or

by

using

the

block's

location

relative

to

the

beginning

of

the

catalog

(TTR).

Specifying

the

Name

of

an

Index

Level

or

Data

Set

If

you

specify

an

index

level

name,

the

first

block

of

the

named

index

is

read

int,o

main

storage,

and

an

exceptional

return

code

is

set.

Index

tlock

formats

are

contained

in

Appendix

A

of

this

chapter.

If

you

specify

a

data

set

name,

a

256-byte

volume-list

block

is

read

into

main

storage.

The

block

contains

up

to

20

volume

pointers,

each

of

which

points

to

a

volume

on

which

~art

of

the

data

set

is

stored.

The

first

two

bytes

of

the

block

contain

the

number

of

volume

pointers

for

the

data

set.

Each

volume

pointer

is

a

12-byte

field

that

contains

a

4-byte

device

code,

a

6-byte

volume

serial

number,

and

a

2-byte

data

set

sequence

number.

(Device

codes

are

contained

in

Appendix

B

of

this

chapter.)
