Sending OS/400 Operator Line Commands

Do not use the automation sessions directly to enter OS/400 operator commands; doing so can cause errors in the affected sessions. Instead, use the command SYSCMND to send OS/400 operator line commands and return the response from line 24 of the AS/400 screen. (If you need to perform full-screen functions, use the manual session or access the system from outside CA Automation Point.)

The SYSCMND function sends an OS/400 operator line command to a single AS/400 system or group of systems. Issue the command as follows:

SYSCMND sysname command
sysname

The AS/400 system, tag, or group name.

command

A single OS/400 operator line command.

The command and its response appear in the Merged Msg and the AP messages windows.
