Control the Command Input Line Size

When the SOF Command Processor encounters a longer command than can be accommodated by the SHORTCMD command field, the SOF Command Processor automatically moves to the LONGCMD display screen.

To control the command input line size

1. On the command line issue the following commands:
   • SHORTCMD(Default)

     Specifies the command line occupy one line of the display.

   • LONGCMD

     Specifies the command line occupy two lines, allowing up to 126 characters of command input. This is the maximum allowed by the SOF Command.

2. Exit option 6 and return to the pre,

The setting in effect when you last exited is remembered.

Note: There is a limit on the number of lines of command output which will be captured and returned for display. If a command you enter generates more lines than this, the last line of output you see will be a message saying that some response lines were lost. The limit is the same value used by the CA OPS/MVS MVS/JES Command Processor.
