Configuring the Parameter Library (Parmlib) › The Parameter Library (PARMLIB) › OSSCMDS Parmlib Member

OSSCMDS Parmlib Member

The OSSCMDS parmlib member contains operator console commands that are processed by CA Vtape after successful initialization. Any MVS, JES, and CA Vtape console command can be specified in this member. If no commands are needed at startup, $NULL can be coded as the value for the StartupCommands attribute in the Parmlib Directory Section of OSPARMS parmlib member.

To define the desired startup console commands, use the CMD or COMMAND attributes in the Startup Commands Section of the OSSCMDS member, as shown in the following example:

<StartupCommands>
    CMD='D U,TAPE,ONLINE'
    CMD='&SVTS DISPLAY PARMLIB,SHORT,HARDCOPY'

    CMD='&SVTS DISPLAY STATUS'
    COMMAND='D A,L'
    COMMAND='&SVTS D A'

Note: The use of the subsystem-ID symbolic &SVTS in the preceding example will ensure that the SVTS command is processed by the current Subsystem being initialized. If ‘SVT2 D A’ was coded, only when a Subsystem with a subsystem-ID of SVT2 is initialized would the command be processed
