Its been at least 30 years I will yield to your memory. I just
remember it giving me a blow by blow description on the format of the

360/30 functional characteristics ... see if this is
what you remember

GA24-3231-7_360-30_funcChar.pdf
Its close but I am not sure after 30 years. My poor memory says the
it had the instruction then a figure and a brief description
(verbiage) and a time in micro seconds(?) that it took to execute the
instruction. Then a full blown description of the instruction. What I
saw (at least at page 30) was not close to what I remember. However
it is a moot point as far as I am concerned as you came up with
something close.
This has directory for -0, -6, and -7 360 Principles of Operation

The poo as IBM called it is also close except it did not have the
timing of each instruction(s) (which when I think of it wouldn't be
in there as it would be model dependent). Apparently my memory is
rusting after 30+ years.
Thank you for the information it has helped me do some error
correction. You have been a great help, as responding to him gets
exhausting at times. At least you provide positive information.
