Data management concepts for DOS/360 and TOS/360
A. R. Cenfetelli · IBM Systems Journal · 1967
The growing diversity and increasing complexity of new applications demand more efficient data-handling devices and methods. The computer designers have responded with a large complement of different input/output (I/O) and auxiliary storage devices. However, the majority of users in the small-to-intermediate computer class desire to spend most, if not all, of their programming effort in solving their own problems. They wish to expend a minimum of effort in coping with the intricacies of the various I/O devices, or in developing new techniques for retrieval of information. Thed ata management facilities for DOS/360 and TOS/360, discussed in this paper,1have been designed especially for IBM SYSTEM/360 users in this class.
