The design of OS/360 assures that data sets of all kinds can be systematically identified, stored, retrieved, and surveyed. Versatility is served by a variety of techniques for structuring data sets, catalogs, buffers, and data transfers. In the interest of operational adaptability, the system tailors itself to actual needs on a dynamic basis. For programming efficiency, source programs may be device-independent to a novel degree.
