CA IDMS VSAM Transparency system commands

Considerations

The following considerations apply to CA IDMS VSAM Transparency system commands:

In z/OS, you enter these commands directly from an operator console.
In z/VSE, you can enter these commands in one of two ways:
- You can run ESVSINIT with these parameters. The END parameter must always be the last statement included in the job stream for ESVSINIT.
- You can enter these commands from the operator console if you use the CONSOLE command.
