Commands

The FMS PROC is controlled by commands provided to the SYSIN DD statement. The commands are of four main types:

Environment commands. Those commands that set up the environment in which CA Disk will run: SET and PASSWORD.
Candidate commands. Those commands that find candidate data sets: SCAN.
Selection commands. Those commands that select or exclude data sets to be processed, based on your own specific criteria: SELECT and EXCLUDE.
Action commands. Those commands that take action upon the selected resources: RECOVER.

The minimum information required for you to execute FMS is a SCAN command to name the DSNINDEX records to be processed, a SELECT command, and an action command.

You can add other commands to gain additional selection or functionality.
