I did not see the message that you are quoting below from Shmuel. We were running a printer from the spooler. I thought that it was a model 1401 printer, but I could be wrong.
We were definitely running OS/360, not DOS/360. We ran OS/360 during the day to convert 1401 AUTOCODER programs to COBOL by rewriting them. Then at night we ran the 1401 emulator to do the production runs. This was all in 1969. I was a programmer and not an operator. I know that the few times that we needed more than the standard memory, we were told that they had to re-IPL OS/360. Nothing was said about a DEFINE command.
