What this book is about

| This book is intended to help you understand the background to programming
| with the IBM GDDM Version 3 Release 2 series of products, and with
| GDDM/MVS as an element of OS/390.

The book contains guidance about programming aspects of GDDM, and shows you how to write GDDM programs to the best effect. It also documents general-use programming interfaces and associated guidance information. General-use programming interfaces enable the customer to write programs that request or receive the services of GDDM. If you need to know more about where programming interface information is described, or about the definitions of the different types of information in the GDDM library, you should read the GDDM General Information book.

Who this book is for

Application programming in the language in which the GDDM programs are to be written. For example:
- C/370
- COBOL
- FORTRAN
- PL/I
- REXX
- System/370 Assembler
The subsystem under which the GDDM programs are to run. For example:

- CMS
- IMS
- TSO
- VSE
The information contained in the GDDM General Information book.

How to use this book

This Application Programming Guide is in three parts.

Use the first part for learning the basics of programming with GDDM and the second part for guidance on more advanced programming tasks. The last part of the book is devoted to complete programming examples.

You can read the topics sequentially, or just read those topics that relate to the immediate task you want to perform. The structure of this book is detailed in the table of contents. There is an index at the back of the book, that you can use for reference.
