Executing ATMCOMM Commands

Once ATMCOMM is running, you can issue ATMCOMM commands. Commands can only be issued from the user ID running ATMCOMM. The commands STATUS, STOP, and WHEREIS cannot be issued from a REXX program. The following commands are always issued with the prefix ATMCOMM:

LOG|NOLOG

This command lets you activate or deactivate the ATMCOMM logging feature.

PREFIX|NOPREFIX

This command provides an extra 18 characters before each message displaying the message type and message origin (originating user ID).

STATUS

This command displays a series of messages showing ATMCOMM status information and statistics. This command can be abbreviated as STAT.

STOP

This command causes ATMCOMM to discontinue operation, and returns you to the CMS Ready; prompt.

TRACE|NOTRACE

This command turns the ATMCOMM trace feature on or off. When TRACE is active, you can receive ATMCOMM debugging information.

WHEREIS

This command displays the location of the ATMCOMM nucleus extension. You can abbreviate this command as WHERE.

You must enter all commands with the ATMCOMM prefix. You cannot abbreviate this prefix. For example, if you want to display the current ATMCOMM status information, issue the following command:

ATMCOMM STATUS
