COMMAND

Use COMMAND to create new z/OS console operator commands.

Use this format for the COMMAND parameter:

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

The COMMAND parameter takes these arguments.

Argument	Description
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	Either the IMOD's name or a prefix used to derive it.
userid	User ID that will be 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: The command executes under the default user ID.

CA‑GSS lets you define one or more words that will be 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 new 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, make sure the command words are unique for each address space. Otherwise, more than one address space will execute the command.
