OS/360 PCP

PCP
Description

OS/360-PCP (Principal Control Program) was a very simple version which could only run one program at a time. Inside IBM, this was used to develop the tools that would eventually run on the larger OS/360 versions. In the real world, machines that were too small to run the other OS versions, always ran DOS.
