'''Programmer/ and Operator Productivity Aid''' (POP) is an application package written originally for the [[IBM]] [[System/34]], which became much more popular and functional on the IBM [[System/36]] and universal on the [[Advanced/36]].<ref>[http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/ibm/system36/SC21-9072-0_Programmer_and_Operator_Productivity_Aid_Description_and_Operations_Guide_Jan84.pdf Programmer and Operator Productivity Aid: Description and Operations Guide], [[IBM]], SC21-9027-0, January 1984.</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|title=New Products|magazine=Computerworld|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nE8BHOMlhxMC&pg=PT23|date=30 May 1988|publisher=IDG Enterprise|page=23|issn=0010-4841|quote=...the product reportedly gives users the power, speed and familiarity of IBM's Programmer and Operator Productivity Aid utility...}}</ref>
 
POP comprises four major tools:

FILE*LIBR, which provides easy access to disklibraries and library filesmembers;
LIBR*DISKETTE, which provides easy access to libraries and librarydiskette membersfiles;
*FSEDIT, which is a full-screen text editor in the fashion of the [[System/38]] and [[AS/400IBM i]] text editors.
DISKETTE, which provides easy access to diskette files;
FSEDIT, which is a full-screen text editor in the fashion of the [[System/38]] and [[AS/400]]
text editors.
 
POP does not have a function for folders. The [[Office/36]] TEXTFLDR procedure is adequate for this function.
 
POP programs use a [[point-and-shoot interface]]. Many objects are displayed and to the left of each object is an input field. The operator interacts by moving the cursor to the desired object and marking it by typing a letter or number which represents a command or function.
