Specify a Switch

The term switch is used in SOF command syntax diagrams where specification of a single switch is required or accepted. You may specify one of the following:

• A four-digit hexadecimal local z/OS device number
• An SOF relative global device number
• The full name assigned to one switch
• A generic name template that matches only one name assigned to one switch
