GDDM V3R2 General Information
GC33-0866-03



OS/390 (program number 5645-001) is a software package that integrates selected MVS platform software products and features to create a fully enabled and functionally rich MVS/ESA operating system platform.

This new System/390 server operating system is a network-ready integrated operational environment. The base operating system functions of key products in the MVS environment are installed and tested as one product prior to customer delivery. Installation of OS/390 provides the base operating system, an open communications server, and distributed data and file services. Other integrated functions include parallel sysplex support, object-oriented programming, OSF Distributed Computing Environment (DCE), multimedia, open application interfaces, and online publications.

GDDM/MVS 3.2 is a base element of OS/390 Base. GDDM-REXX/MVS and GDDM-PGF are optional features.

GDDM's excellence as a graphics program and device driver is recognized worldwide. As a result, it is used extensively as a graphics enabler by other licensed programs, including other elements of OS/390 such as BookManager.
