Subsystem Command Character Guidelines

When using subsystem command character other than JES2 Commands, do:

Specify the command character followed by the wildcard (*) character to execute on commands issued using a product-defined command character.

Example

Assume the character / is the command character of a particular subsystem. Code a specification of )CMD /* to trigger on commands that are issued using its command character. Logic can be implemented in the )PROC section of the rule to interrogate the CMD.TEXT event variable to see the exact command that was entered.

• Use the wildcard character (*) where applicable.

  Example

  • ST* matches z/OS START and STOP commands or any pseudo command that beings with ST.
  • * matches all command events on the system.
• Lowercase letters are acceptable, but the AOF converts them to uppercase for event testing.
