IBM System/360 20 User Manual

The IBM-supplied package consists of a
"bootstrap" card and a distribution tape.
The Distribution-Package Retrieval program
is the first program stored on the distri-
bution tape and is used to retrieve the
desired elements (i.e., programs, samples,
macro definitions and control statements)
from the tape. These can then b~ executed
or - if copied onto tape - used as input to
the Load System Tape and Macro Maintenance
programs. The bootstrap card is used to
load the Distribution-Package Retrieval
program.
During Retrieval Program execution, the
operator may skip the undesired elements
stored on the distribution tape and may
control the output of the program. The
operator may also specify listing of the
desired element, thereby suppressing any
other output.
The following sections describe:
• the machine requirements for the execu-
tion of the tistribution-Package Retrie-
val prog ram,
• the contents of the program package,
• the operating procedures for the
Distribution-Package Retrieval program,
and
• the identification of the program decks
retrieved from the distribution tape.
MACHINE REQUIREMENTS
The minimum machine requirements for the
execution of the Distribution-Package Re-
trieval program are:
• 4096 bytes of main storage,
• one card reading device,
• one card punching device,
• one printer,
• one 2415 Magnetic Tape Unit (9-track
drives, or 7-track drives with data con-
version featur~ .
PROGR AM PACKA GE
Each program, each macro definition, and
each control statement on the distribution
tape (with the exception of the
Distribution-Package Retrieval program) is
preceded by an 80-character header record
in the following format:

Classification:
X: punched out by the Distribution-
package Retrieval program
Y: punched out and copied onto tape
by the tistribution-Package Re-
trieval program.
Z: copied onto tape by the
Distribution-Package Retrieval
program. The output may be
changed by the user.
Identification
The last record on the distribution tape
is a header record that contains the char-
acters EOJ in the program-title field.
Depending on the size of main storage
and the number of available tape drives,
the user has the following possibilities:

All programs to be run with this system
must be copied into cards. These pro-
grams are:
1. Basic Assembler (Tape).
with this program the user can
assemble his own programs written
in the Easic Assembler language
(refer to SRL publication IB~

2. All tape Utility programs:

TPS Tape-to-Card Utility program
TPS Card-to-Tape Utility program
TPS Tape-to-Printer utility program
TPS Initialize-Tape Utility program
The programs must be run under con-
trol of the card-resident Control
programs.
