ADDRESS OPS Command Syntax

Issue an OPS command from within a REXX program by specifying an ADDRESS OPS statement, as shown:

ADDRESS OPS "opscommand operands(s)"

Operands shown in brackets ([ ]) are optional.

Follow these guidelines when issuing an OPS command:

Use parentheses to pass values when specifying a required or optional operand with an OPS command. For example:
```
SYSTEM(MSF system name)
```
Do not name your variables with names reserved for OPS commands when creating REXX programs that issue OPS commands.
Uppercase or lowercase characters are valid. For example, the following are both valid:
```
TEXT(text) and TEXT(TEXT)
```
Leading and trailing blanks are ignored. For example, the following are both valid:
```
TEXT(text) and TEXT ( text )
```

Single and double quotes are valid. For example, the following are all valid:

COMMAND(commandstring) and COMMAND('commandstring') and COMMAND("commandstring")

Use two adjacent double quotes ("") to indicate a literal double quote. Use two adjacent single quotes ('') to indicate a literal single quote.
The usual delimiter for the COMMAND operand in the OSFTSO and OPER command processors is the single quote ('). If the command string you are specifying contains single quotes, use a double quote (") as the operand delimiter, change the REXX delimiter from a double quote (") to a single quote ('), and use two adjacent single quotes ('') to indicate a literal single quote in the text of the command string.
For example,
```
ADDRESS OPS 'OSFTSO SYSTEM(OPS123) COMMAND("SEND ''djones has been notified'' USER(jsmith)")'
```
