DC/UCF Operator Console Interface › Overview

Overview

A DC/UCF system has an operator console that allows entering DC/UCF operator commands and task codes at the console at system runtime.

DC/UCF performs security checking for the operator's console as for any other terminal. To execute secured tasks or programs, you must first use the SIGNON system task to sign on to the console with a user ID that has authority to execute the task code and associated program.

The way in which the operator's console interface works is operating system dependent. Information about the operator's console interface is described separately for each of the following operating systems:

• z/OS
• z/VM
• z/VSE

Using the operator's console

You execute DC/UCF operator commands or task codes using the following guidelines, regardless of the operating system you are using:

• Enter one operator command or task code at a time
• Separate keywords in the entered text by one or more blanks

Using abbreviated keywords

Valid abbreviations for keywords are presented in the detailed discussion of the operator commands or task code. You can enter full or abbreviated keywords. For example, each of the following DISPLAY ACTIVE TASKS commands is valid:

display active tasks
disp act tas
d ac ta
