This publication provides the IBM system
hardware and software support personnel
with the information needed to analyze
problems that may occur on the IBM Virtual Machine Facility/370 (VM/370). This manual ccmprises three volumes: "Volume 1. VM/370 Control program (CP)," "Volume 2. Conversational Monitor System (CMS)," and "Volume 3. Remote Spooling
Communications Subsystem (RSCS)" contain
the logic description for each of the
components. Each of these volumes is
divided into four sections: Introduction, Method of Operation, Directory, and
Diagnostic Aids.
The method of operation and program organization sections contain the functions
and relationships of the program routines
in VM/370. They indicate the program operation and organiZation in a general way to serve as a guide in understanding VM/370. They are not meant to be a
detailed analysis of VM/370 programming and
cannot be used as such.
The directories contain descriptions of
all the assemble modules in CP, CMS, and RSCS. They also contain extensive
cross-references between modules and labels
within a VM/370 component. The diagnostic aids sections contain
additional information useful for
determining the cause of a problem.
The Appendix --which is in Volume 1
contains a description of VM/370 Extended
Control-program Support (ECPS). Isolate the component of VM/370 in which
the problem occurred. Use the list of restrictions in Guide to
be certain that the operation that-was being performed was valid.
Preface Use the directories and use the VM/37Q fata and Control Block 10qic to
help you to isolate the problem. Use the method of operation and program organization sections, if necessary, to
understand the operation that was being performed. DEVICE TERMINOLOGY The following terms in this publication
