Happy 60th birthday System 360!
My first mainframe was a S/370 model 168 with Intel memory.
It was the early 1980s. We had no security system (used password dataset),
no scheduing package (used Mellon bank Before/After cards),
no tape management system and 3350s. It was a small to medium shop.
Later in the 1980's we installed
RACF,
UCC-1,
a 3081 processor,
and 3380s.
I don't know if it was the actual password dataset or a text file with saved passwords but I remember this entry for the master catalog:
KARMA - The ethical consequences of one's transmigration through apparent reality.
