OPSCMD Command Characters for IMS Operation

The CA OPS/MVS IMS Operation Facility supports a table of command characters that imply the specific control region for which a command is intended. Defining and using these command characters enables you to omit the IMSID keyword on the OPSCMD, and thus use the simpler form of OPSCMD syntax.

For information on defining IMS command characters, see the description of the IMSnCHAR parameter in the Parameter Reference.

A single copy of CA OPS/MVS can manage up to 32 separate copies of IMS. For a list of the versions of IMS that the CA OPS/MVS product supports, see the Installation Guide. If you run more than one IMS under the control of CA OPS/MVS, they can be at any combination of supported IMS levels.
