| | | | System/34: Encyclopedia II - System/36 - Overview of the IBM System/36 The IBM System/36 was a simple and popular small business computer system, first shipped in 1983. It had a 17-year product lifespan.
The first model of the S/36 was the 5360. It weighed 700 pounds (318 kg), cost (US) $100,000 and up, and ran at speeds up to 20 MHz, which in 1983 was faster than the "Personal Computers" on the market. The 5362 weighed only 150 pounds (68 kg) and cost (US) $20,000.
In the 1970s, the US Department of Justice brought an antitrust lawsuit against IBM, claiming it was using unlawful practices ...

MRT = Multiple Requestor Terminal program. SSP could actually run one program on up to 7 terminals at once. The operator would start the program on a single terminal, then other terminals could join.
SRT = Single Requestor Terminal program. Not a MRT.
NRT = Non-Requestor Terminal program. Started at a terminal, the NRT releases the requesting terminal and continues. This is similar to an MS-DOS TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) program.
NEP = Never-Ending Program. This is a non-interactive program that does not have a d ...

The S/36 had four: RPG II, COBOL, BASIC, and FORTRAN. RPG was cheaper, created compact code sizes, and became the far-and-away best-seller. Cobol was very popular in the business community. Fortran just isn't very practical for data processing purposes, and while BASIC was nice, it was implemented as an interactive 40K session. Teaching a BASIC class and watching eight operators try to key in BASIC programs ...

| | | | System/34: Encyclopedia II - System/36 - Forms Numbers When the operator printed paychecks, it was vitally important that paycheck information printed on check forms and not on plain paper; likewise, a regular printout should never print on expensive check forms. Therefore, forms numbers were created. A forms number is a one-to-four-character alphameric field that programs and operators use to straighten out this problem. Programmers use the PRINTER OCL statement as follows:
// PRINTER NAME-PAYCHECK, FORMS-BUXX, DEVICE-P1
When the spool writer is ready to process the checks spool entry, this message appears at the subconsole:
SYS-1404 Options (012 ) ...

| | | | System/34: Encyclopedia II - System/36 - Other Object Types Of course, Cobol, Fortran, and RPG generated object code (type O). Basic was interpreted only; a compilation utility called BASICS created subroutine code (type R). Interestingly, BASIC programs could be saved as sources for compatibility with other computers, but the project's text was nicely preserved in the subroutine (unless the clever programmer used the LOCK command to keep it private.)
Procedures, which use OCL to start programs and assign resources to them, are type P.
Source members for all objects are type S, with the exception of Basic as above-specified.

| | | | System/34: Encyclopedia II - System/36 - How Spooling Works To allow the system to manage the problem, system components called "writers" and "spool files" were developed. A writer is a small system program that reads the spool file, matches a particular printer with a ready-to-print spool object, and begins sending instructions to the printer. It's a two-way process; the printer sends a signal back to the system when it is ready for more work. In order to avoid mixing up data from two spool files, the first report to finish and clo ...

| | | | System/34: Encyclopedia II - System/36 - Popular System/36 Applications MAPICS, the Manufacturing and Planning Integrated Control System, was a popular S/36 application.
IBM Office programs (DisplayWrite, IDDU, Query, and so forth) were popular in the late 1980s and were free on the Advanced 36.
The most popular program was POP (Programmer/Operator Productivity Aid.) It cost $1,000. It was, however, widely pirated. It was offered free on the Advanced 36.
There was a games library called FUNLIB that contained games like Star Trek, Football, Hangman, Coffee, Grand Prix, and a Biorhythm program. An associated PICTURES library let you print ASCII art o ...

| | | | System/34: Encyclopedia II - System/36 - The Advanced 36 9236/9436 In 1994, IBM released the Advanced 36. Priced as low as $7995, it was the machine that allowed S/36 folks to get faster and more modern hardware while "staying 36." The Advanced 36 allowed SSP, the operating system of the S/36, to be contained within AS/400's OS/400 as a "virtual machine" so that it could be upgraded to a full-blown AS/400 for $15k. The A/36 was slightly larger than a common PC cabinet and could easily be mistaken for a ...

| | | | System/34: Encyclopedia II - System/36 - Migrating to the AS/400 iSeries Was tough. The AS/400 had troubles like decimal data errors that the S/36 did not, so these types of problems were always popping up. It was obvious that the S/36 owner wanted to put off going "native" on the AS/400 as long as possible, and since there were so many IBM offerings that allowed owners to put it off (36 Compatibility Mode, the AS/Entry, and the best one of all, the Advanced 36) they put it off quite awhile.
The System/36 and the AS/400 were not object-code compatible; worse yet, source code from a System/36 had to be rewr ...

| | | | System/34: Encyclopedia II - System/36 - System/36 Model 5364 Was called the "Baby/36" by IBMers, but this name was later attached to a software program produced by California Software Products, Inc. The 5364 was an early (1985?) attempt by IBM to implement a System/36 on PC-sized hardware. Inside, there were IBM chips, but the cabinet size was reminiscent of a 1980s style PC. The machine had a 5-1/4" diskette drive, which was incompatible with PCs and with other S/36s. A PC mon ...

| | | | System/34: Encyclopedia II - System/36 - Caching
How does a 64K computer program run on a S/36 when only 48K of RAM is available? By using a process called caching. The system uses a cache or workspace on the hard drive to contain portions of the programs currently running. Loading the whole program into the cache area and then moving it piecemeal in and out of storage was a system function performed by the CSP. The MSP performed the instructions in the computer program. Insufficient memory makes the system run slower, since the disk speed was only about as good in the 1980s as PC drives are today, and modern "burst mode" rates were u ...

Programmers read about the System/36 in magazines like DataNetwork (which became Midrange Computing) and News 34/38 (which became News 3X/400, News/400, and iSeries Magazine.) The people who would read these magazines were perhaps the nerdiest of nerds. Subscription prices ranged from US$8 to US$12 per copy.
