Use OPSCMD Subcommand Mode

The CA OPS/MVS OPSCMD subcommand mode provides an easy way to enter several operating system commands.

To enter OPSCMD subcommand mode

1. Issue the OPSCMD command without supplying a system command or any keywords as follows:

   OPSCMD 
   

   In response, you see prompts of OC, which indicate that the system is ready.

2. You can either enter system commands or enter the END command to exit OPSCMD subcommand mode.

   You can enter one or more system commands after each prompt. If you enter system commands, they execute and you receive their output. Entering END terminates OPSCMD subcommand mode.

You can also enter OPSCMD subcommand mode by issuing the OPSCMD command with operands, if you omit the COMMAND keyword. For example, all of the following commands start OPSCMD subcommand mode. The last two commands invoke OPSCMD subcommand mode because they specify no command text.

OPSCMD
OC
OPSCMD NOO
OC WAIT(15)
