Telecommunications Access Method
Telecommunications Access Method (TCAM) is an access method, in IBM's OS/360 and successors computer operating systems on IBM System/360 and later, that provides access to terminals units within a teleprocessing network.[1]
TCAM provided essentially the same functionality as QTAM, and in addition was the access method for the initial version of Time Sharing Option (TSO). It initially supported
- Binary Synchronous Communications (BSC) terminals
- start/stop terminals
- 2260 terminals
- message queuing in storage and on disk
Support for 3270 terminals was soon added.
