IMS Type 2 Message Considerations

A subset of the IMS Type 2 message facility implemented in the ADDRESS OPER host environment is available to the OPSCMD command processor. The keywords associated with issuing IMS Type 2 commands, IMSID, IMSPLEX, WAIT, and XML, are all described under that section, as well as return and reason code interpretation. You can direct output from a Type 2 command to the terminal or the EDQ.

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.
