GUIDE (Guidance for Users of Integrated Data-Processing Equipment) was a users' group for users of IBM computer systems. GUIDE was formed in 1956; it was incorporated in 1970 as a non-profit organization under the name of GUIDE International Corporation. [1] At its peak GUIDE had a membership of around 2,000 companies and institutions. [2]
In 1968 "IBM contracted Stuart Madnick of MIT to write a simple document preparation ..." [10] [1] to run on CP/67. [11]He modeled it on MIT's CTSS RUNOFF. [12] [13] In 1974, William Dwyer at Yale University ported the CP-67 version of Script to the Time Sharing Option (TSO) of OS/360 under the name NSCRIPT. [14]
The IBM Information Management System (IMS) is a joint hierarchical database and information management system that supports transaction processing. [1] Development began in 1966 to keep track of the bill of materials for the Saturn V rocket of the Apollo program, and the first version on the IBM System/360 Model 65 was completed in 1967 as ICS/DL/I and officially installed in August 1968.

The SABRE system by IBM in the 1960s was specified to process a very large number of transactions, such as handling 83,000 daily phone calls. [7] The system took over all booking functions in 1964, when the name had changed to SABRE. [8] In 1972, SABRE was migrated to IBM System/360 systems in a new underground location in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Transaction Processing Facility (TPF) [2] is an IBM real-time operating system for mainframe computers descended from the IBM System/360 family, including zSeries and System z9. TPF delivers fast, high-volume, high-throughput transaction processing, handling large, continuous loads of essentially simple transactions across large, geographically ...
Job Control Language (JCL) is a scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems to instruct the system on how to run a batch job or start a subsystem. [1] The purpose of JCL is to say which programs to run, using which files or devices [2] for input or output, and at times to also indicate under what conditions to skip a step.
Based on number of systems sold, the Model 20 was the most successful model of System/360. According to Pugh "The number of Model 20 processors installed by the end of 1970 in the United States exceeded 7,400." [2]: p.639 Other models, however, brought in greater revenue. Despite their popularity there are relatively few Model 20s in existence ...
