ADDRESS OPER Keywords
The ADDRESS OPER host environment supports different keywords, depending on whether the ADDRESS OPER command is issued from within an OPS/REXX program or an AOF rule.
- In order to issue IMS Type 2 commands, access must be available to IBM modules CSLSRG00 and CSLSDR00. Those are shipped in IMS product libraries at release 9.1 or greater, and are usually named hlq.SDFSRESL. The entire IMS product library can be allocated, or a private data set with just those isolated modules, and may be an explicit allocation, or a LNKLST entry.
- If you use the ADDRESS OPER host environment to issue an operator command from an OPS/REXX program, you may include any of the keywords listed under Format 2 in your command string.
- If you use the ADDRESS OPER host environment to issue an operator command from an AOF rule that allows WAITs (a REQ, SCR, or TOD rule), you may include any of the keywords listed under Format 2 in your command string.
- If you use the ADDRESS OPER host environment to issue an operator command from an AOF rule that does not allow WAITs (any rule other than REQ, SCR, or TOD), the only keywords listed under Format 2 that you may specify in your command string are IMSID, MFORM, NAME/CONNAME, and SYSTEM /SYSID.
- You cannot issue IMS Type 2 message from a rule. Type 2 message implementation is based on internal event WAIT and POST completions, and as such is not appropriate within a rule environment.
- The IMS Type 2 message interface is a direct API call to the IMSPLEX manager, and not an operator message. All responses are returned through the same API. As a result, BMP is not involved, and keywords dealing with response disposition and routing are not applicable.
