Dispatch a Command and Continue Processing

To issue a command without the need to programmatically process the command output:

• Utilize the NOOUTPUT keyword

  ADDRESS OPER
  “Command(text of command) Nooutput”
  

  This can be abbreviated to:

  ADDRESS OPER
  “C(text of command) Noo”
  

• In a NOOUTPUT condition, specify (if needed) the keywords IMSID, MFORM, CONNAME, PROPRESP (from within an AOF CMD rule only), and SYSTEM.
• The NOOUTPUT commands require CA OPS/MVS to use the console as set through the OCCONSOLENAME parameter. Obtain optimal efficiency for automation issuing the NOOUTPUT commands by following these rules:
  • Ensure that the setting of the OCCONSOLENAME parameter is that of a unique CA OPS/MVS extra extended console. For more information on the EXTRAEXTCONSOLES and EXTRAEXTPREFIX parameters that are used during initialization to allocate extended consoles, see the Parameter Reference.
  • Make the OCCONSOLENAME parameter change permanent by incorporating the change in the CA OPS/MVS start up REXX exec.
  • Authorize the issuing console, specified through the OCCONSOLENAME parameter, as required by the various products so the automation can issue NOOUTPUT commands to it. For example, in the case of a CICS command, the console may need to be defined to the CICS TCT table.
