Operator Commands

DC/UCF Operator Console Interface › Operator Commands

Operator Commands

Operator commands are available for use from the operator's console only.

The following table lists DC/UCF operator commands by function.

Note:

The use of the DISPLAY and VARY operator commands is deprecated andsupported only for upward compatibility. They should be replaced by the equivalent DCMT system task command.
The table lists the operator commands that are valid using a console reply without specifying DCMT. DCMT commands can be entered as DC/UCF tasks at the operator's console, even if not available as an operator command.
