IBM System/360 User Manual

Programming at the Terminal
You can use the TSO commands to compile, link edit, and execute (or
compile and load) your source program at the terminal. TSO also allows
you to use other programs, such as utilities, at the terminal. That is,
instead of taking your job to the computer room to run it directly under
the operating system, you can use the TSO commands to enter it through
your terminal. These commands reduce your job turnaround time because
you get immediate resul ts at the terminal.. since TSO commands are
designed to operate on cataloged data sets, data sets created in the
background for use with TSO in the foreground should be cataloged.
You can also use the terminal to submit your job for processing at
the computer in the conventional manner. That is, you submit your job
through the terminal even if you do not want to get immediate results at
the terminal. The results are sent to you from the computer room after
your job is executed or you may obtain them at the terminal at a later
time. Jobs submitted in this manner are called background jobs.

If an installation has the as PL/I Optimizing Compiler or the PL/I
Checkout Compiler, the user can compile and execute PL/I programs under
TSO. The compilers are Program Products and each includes the PL/I
Prompter, which is an initialization routine that checks compiler
options, allocates data sets required by the compiler, and then invokes
it .•
