Execute New and Previously Issued Commands

There are many ways to execute commands within the SOF Command Processor.

To execute new and previously issued commands:

1. From the Switch Operations Facility Menu, choose option 6 Commands - Enter SOF server commands.

   The command processor panel is displayed.

2. Type a command in the command field and press the ENTER key. No special command prefixes are needed.

   Command text in the command field is passed, as is, to the SOF Command Processor. The only exception is when there are single quotes (') found in the command text. The single quotes will be doubled before being passed to the SOF Command Processor for syntax purposes.

3. Press PF5 (Previous Command) or PF6 (Next Command) to retrieve the previously issued command. The last 20 commands are stored in your ISPF profile pool.

   If you have issued the command within the same SOF Command Processor dialog instance, the related output will be displayed with the command. Otherwise, the command alone will be placed on the command field.

Note: For information on controlling size of the command input line, see Control the Command Input Line Size.
