ADDRESS OPS Commands › ADDRESS OPS Command Descriptions › OSFTSO Command

OSFTSO Command

The OSFTSO command sends a TSO command execution request to the CA OPS/MVS Operator Server Facility (OSF) TSO component. This command enables you to run any TSO command processor, OPS/REXX program, or TSO/E REXX program under the OSF on the remote CA OPS/MVS system.

This command has the following format:

ADDRESS OPS "OSFTSO SYSTEM(MSF system name) COMMAND('command text')"

SYSTEM

Specifies the system name as it is defined to the Multi-System Facility (MSF) on a CA OPS/MVS host. You can only specify one CA OPS/MVS system per OSFTSO command.

COMMAND

Specifies the TSO command that is to be executed on a CA OPS/MVS OSF TSO server on the designated MSF system. Though the command text can be up to 32,000 bytes in length, it is still subject to length limitations imposed by CA OPS/MVS.

Usage Note:

OPS/REXX programs are specified by indicating the name of the OPS/REXX command processor (OI, OX, OPSIMEX, or OPSEXEC) followed by the REXX program arguments. (See the CA OPS/MVS documentation for details.) If the command contains keywords, you may need to enclose the COMMAND argument in quotes (see the example).

Examples:

• The following statement executes the OPS/REXX program named REXXPGM2, on the CA OPS/MVS system with an MSF ID of OPS123, with an argument of TEST DATA, and a workspace size of 2,000,000 bytes, using the OI command processor:

  ADDRESS OPS "OSFTSO COMMAND ('OI PROGRAM(REXXPGM2) ARG(TEST DATA) WS(2000000)') SYSTEM(OPS123)"
  

• The following statement executes the OPS/REXX program named REXXPGM3, on the CA OPS/MVS system with an MSF ID of OPS123, using the OX command processor:

  ADDRESS OPS "OSFTSO COMMAND ('OX PROGRAM("'"DSN.NOTIN.SYSEXEC(REXXPGM3)"'")') SYSTEM(OPS123)"
