CA-GSS/ISERV Commands › CA-GSS Initialization Parameters › COMMAND

COMMAND

This command creates z/OS console operator commands.

Syntax

COMMAND VERB cmd {IMOD|PREFIX} name [USERID userid]

Parameters

cmd

1- to 16-character word to be recognized as an operator console command. Avoid non-alphabetic characters. Do not duplicate an existing operator command name.

IMOD

Indicates that name is a complete IMOD name.

PREFIX

Indicates that an IMOD name is to be constructed from name, followed by the first blank-delimited word that follows cmd in the operator-entered string.

name

IMOD's name or a prefix used to derive it.

userid

User ID that is assigned to the IMOD task created to process this command, if entered from a true console. Commands entered from other programs or TSO address spaces are always assigned the user ID of the requestor.

Default: Command executes under the default user ID.

Usage Notes

• CA‑GSS lets you define one or more words that are recognized as commands when entered by a console operator. Whenever such a command is entered, CA‑GSS intercepts it and executes the specified IMOD. Results can be displayed on the issuing console.
• CA‑GSS operating commands can be entered in this manner if you define a command word for that purpose. Since CA‑GSS also supports the OS MODIFY (F) command, specification of a command word is optional.
• Do not confuse the COMMAND parameter (which creates a z/OS console operator command) with the CMD parameter (which creates a command that is recognized when issued to CA‑GSS).
• If you are running multiple CA‑GSS address spaces, verify that the command words are unique for each address space. Otherwise, more than one address space executes the command.
