OSPCMDS Parmlib Member

The OSPCMDS parmlib member contains operator console commands that are processed by CA Vtape before starting the actual shutdown process. Any MVS, JES, and CA Vtape console command can be specified in this member. If no commands are needed at shutdown, $NULL can be coded as the value for the ShutdownCommands attribute in the Parmlib Directory Section of OSPARMS parmlib member.

To define the desired shutdown console commands, use the CMD or COMMAND attributes under the Shutdown Commands Section, as shown in the following example:

<ShutdownCommands>
     CMD='D U,TAPE,ONLINE'
     CMD='&SVTS DISPLAY PARMLIB,M,H'
     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 that will be shutdown. If ‘SVT2 D A’ was coded, only when a Subsystem with a subsystem-ID of SVT2 is shutdown would the command be processed
