History section

[edit]

The entire history section has nothing to do with the subject of the article; it discusses the SRB, a newer and unrelated control block. This material belongs in MVS. --Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 17:35, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ECB

[edit]

I was trying to find an article on ECB, Event Control Block, and found this. Is there any article related to ECB? Gah4 (talk) 23:10, 10 July 2023 (UTC) I'm not sure that separate articles are appropriate, but certainly the OS/360 and successors could usefully describe[reply]

  • Event Control Block (ECB)
  • WAIT and POST macros
  • ENQ, DEQ and RESERVE macros

Similarly, the MVS article could usefully discuss

  • Locks
  • Service Request Block (SRB)
    Expand upon text currently in Task Control Block#History and then remove that section.
  • SCHEDULE macro

Finally, UNIX System Services could usefully discuss latches. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 10:59, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
