OS/VS1 operator guide


 

is there a preserved copy of a OS/VS1 operators guide? I couldn't find one on bitsavers, and JES1 is new to me...


 

I haven't yet found one, and I've been looking for a while. Generally, what you have to do is use manuals for older products, and allow for any differences between older manuals and VS1.

There's an OS/VS Programmer's Reference Digest at bitsavers.org, at:



which contains operator command syntax listings, but without documentation of operands. More detailed command descriptions are in the OS/360 manuals:




(the second book is really patronizing, and seems to have been written with two-year-olds as the target audience).

Generally, VS1 developers did whatever they could to cram more modern VS1 JES features into using the old OS operator commands, even if the old commands were clumsy and difficult to use, so it's not like having to learn JES2 commands. The old manuals should give you an idea of command usage; if you have specific questions, ask here, and people with VS1 command experience may be able to help.
