'''EXEC II''' is a discontinued [[operating system]] developed for the [[UNIVAC 1107]] by [[Computer Sciences Corporation]] (CSC) while under contract to [[UNIVAC]] to develop the machine's [[COBOL]] [[compiler]]. They developed EXEC II because Univac's [[EXEC I]] operating system development was late. Because of this the COBOL compiler was actually designed to run under EXEC II, not EXEC I as specified in the original contract.

EXEC II is a [[batch processing]] operating system that supports a single [[job stream]] with concurrent [[spooling]].<ref>{{cite journal|last=Gray|first=George|title=EXEC II|url=https://wiki.cc.gatech.edu/folklore/index.php/EXEC_II|journal=Unisys History Newsletter|volume=1|issue=3|date=March 1993|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170809171206/https://wiki.cc.gatech.edu/folklore/index.php/EXEC_II|archive-date=August 9, 2017}}</ref>
