DC/UCF Operator Console Interface › z/VSE Systems

z/VSE Systems

Under z/VSE, you execute a DC/UCF operator command or task code from the operator's console using one of the two methods:

Method 1:

1. Enter the following command to request the attention of DC/UCF:

►►─ MSG xx ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────►◄

When DC/UCF is ready, it displays the following prompt in response to your MSG request:

xx-nnnn REPLY WITH REQUEST TO IDMS Vnn

2. Enter a DC/UCF operator command or task code using the following syntax:

►►───── nnnn─dc/ucf-command ──────────►◄

3. DC/UCF will accept the command for processing and will then prompt you again. You may then enter another command. After each command you will be prompted again. You may leave the outstanding reply-id open indefinitely, without replying to it. Use the z/VSE command REPLID to display any outstanding reply-ids.

4. Terminate the replid-id by entering the reply-id with no command. The prompt will not be reissued, and the outstanding reply-id will be gone.

Method 2:

Enter the DC/UCF operator command or task code as follows:

►►───── MSG xx,DATA=dc/ucf-command ──────────►◄

DC/UCF will process the command without issuing a prompt. There will be no outstanding replid-id. Method-2 may be employed while there is an outstanding reply-id, and the reply-id will be unaffected.

Example

The following example shows how to use the z/VSE operator's console as a DC/UCF terminal. The operator replies to console messages are shown in lowercase.

Note: The following example uses F7 as the partition ID.

1. Enter the DISPLAY RUN UNITS operator command as follows:

   msg f7
   F7-0007 REPLY WITH REQUEST TO IDMS V77
   7 display run units
   
   F7-0007 REPLY WITH REQUEST TO IDMS V77

   F7 0007 REPLY SESSION ENDED
   

2. Sign on to DC as follows:

   msg f7
   data=99 signon oper
   

3. Execute the DCMT DISPLAY PRINTERS system task as follows:

   msg f7
   msg f7,data=99 dcmt display printers
   

4. Execute the SEND system task and supply parameters in response to prompts as follows:

   msg f7
