Thus, aDOS running under OS macros, CMS can read, but not write or update, CS pactitioned data sets that reside on OS disks. Using the OS macros, eMS can read DOS sequential files that reside
TheOS macros handle the DOS data as if it were OS data.
sequential file can be used as input to an asprogram CMS. However, an as s9quential or partitioned data set that resides on an
as diskcan be written or updated only by an as program running in a
realOS machine. eMS can execute programs that read and write VSAE files from OS programs written in the VS BASIC, COBOL, or PL/I programming languages.
ThisCMS support is based on the DOS/VS Access Method Services and Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) and, therefore, the as user is
