Entering Commands in CA OLQ › Suspending an CA OLQ session

Suspending an CA OLQ session

Suspending a session does not end it. When you return to a session after suspending it, any session options you previously set will still be in effect.

Note:You can use the SUSPEND command to suspend a current session and return control to the transfer control facility or CA IDMS/DC or CA IDMS UCF.

Setting Session Options

Tailoring your CA OLQ session

CA OLQ session options allow you to set up your CA OLQ environment to suit your needs.

Example

Among other options, you can specify the use of:

• Echo/No echo —User-entered commands are repeated by CA OLQ on the 3270-type device.
• Full/sparse—The display format for path retrieval report lines does or doesn't suppress repeating column values.
• Header/No header —The report file built is or isn't displayed with a header line.

Session options remain set for only one session. At the next signon (after the termination of a session) all the session options are returned to each user's defaults.

Note: For more information about setting session options, see the OPTIONS= command in num=6.Commands and Syntax.

Using Commands

When you see the CA OLQ prompt:

OLQ 091057 00  Please enter next command

The cursor is positioned on the top line of the screen. The top line of the screen is where you begin to type your commands. You can enter as many commands on the screen as you want, using up to the default of four lines (unless you have set a larger line size during system generation), provided you follow these rules:

• Use command separators to separate commands. The default command separator is the exclamation point (!).
• If the command exceeds the length allowed, use the continuation character to extend the command beyond the pseudo-converse. The default continuation character is the hyphen (-). You can also change the length of the command line so you can enter longer commands.
