This information supports z/OS Version 2 (5650-ZOS) and contains information about Object Access Method (OAM), DFSMSdfp, and related features that are parts of z/OS.

Purpose of this information

This information describes the programming interface provided by OAM.

Who should read this information

This information is intended to show application programmers how to use the OAM application programming interface to manipulate a special class of data called objects within the OAM system. Using this interface, programmers can store and retrieve specific objects, request information concerning specific objects, change their attributes, and delete them from storage. Application programmers may also use the information in this book to write custom interfaces that allow their programs to work effectively with OAM.
