'''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|workmagazine=Computerworld|url=httphttps://books.google.com/books?id=nE8BHOMlhxMC&pg=PT23|date=30 May 1988|publisher=IDG Enterprise|page=23|idissn={{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:

Line 5:

*LIBR, which provides easy access to libraries and library members;

*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/400IBM i]] text editors.

POP does not have a function for folders. The [[Office/36]] TEXTFLDR procedure is adequate for this function.
