Correct, it was DP in my case, was using an IBM 370, I translated for youngsters.

Ah, a youngster.
I started on a 360 at college, but also used a discrete transistor 1620 in engineering class. Was an operator on an 1170 which was replaced by a System 3. My hours got cut way back then, because my primary job was running a big sales report on Friday night, and then backing up the single platter non removable hard drive *to cards* sometime latter in the weekend. The System 3's printer was much faster, cutting back on the time to print the report, and had a removable as well as fixed drive, so we would back the fixed drive up using the removable one. Again, much faster than the card pucnh, much, much faster.
By that time I had an AFROTC scholarship, which included $100/month in addition to tuition and books. Also that year I still had one year left on my National Merit Scholarship, a whopping $500/year, which the University refunded to me when the Air Force paid my tuition. Since my wife was teaching full time I quit, and never worked during the school year after that, I did work in a Goodyear factory during the next summer, as I had previous summers.
