Using the MVS/JES Command Processor

Remember these points when you are using the MVS/JES command processor:

• Enter commands in the Command field in the top left corner of the panel. The command output appears in the bottom section of the panel. For a sample MVS/JES Command Processor panel that contains command output, see How to Use the Output of a Command to Build Another Command in this chapter.
• Although you can enter any z/OS or JES command from the command processor, some of them may not produce output.
• The number of command output lines that CA OPS/MVS collects and returns to the command processor is limited by the value of the OCMAXMSG parameter. The default value of this parameter is 2000, the minimum value is 100, and the maximum value is 10,000. If you issue a command with output that exceeds the limit set by the OCMAXMSG parameter, the last line of output you receive tells you that some command response lines were lost. To see the additional lines, use the OPSVIEW OPSLOG Browse option. For details about OPSLOG, see Overview of the OPSVIEW OPSLOG Option (Option 1) in the chapter “Using the OPSVIEW OPSLOG Option.”
• When you issue an IMS command from the MVS/JES command processor, you must precede the command with a command character to indicate to CA OPS/MVS that the command is intended for IMS. If your site uses a single IMS control region, use a slash (/) for your command character. If you run more than one IMS control region or you have another reason for not using a slash, you must use the IMSnCHAR parameter to associate control characters to the IMSIDs that you run. For additional details, see the description of the IMSnCHAR parameter in the Parameter Reference and also see the Administration Guide.
• If your z/OS system runs under VM, use #CP to issue your VM CP commands.
