LIB/TSO Commands

LIB/TSO commands have the same syntax and data set naming conventions as other TSO commands. A LIB/TSO command consists of a command name and possibly one or more operands or options. The command performs the requested function. The operands provide the specific information required to control command execution.

If required operands are not specified, the command prompts for them. Other options, if not specified, default to preset values.

The syntax rules for LIB/TSO commands are as follows:

At least one blank or a comma must separate the command name or alias from the first operand.
Operands must be separated by a blank or a comma.
An option can be truncated to the shortest form that does not cause ambiguity.
You can enter commands and their options in either upper or lower case. TSO converts all terminal input to upper case before processing.

You can use commas or blanks as delimiters. The following sections use commas for readability.
