ADDRESS SYSVIEWE—Interface to CA SYSVIEW

The ADDRESS SYSVIEWE host environment provides a direct interface to the CA SYSVIEW product without requiring the use of CA GSS. The ADDRESS SYSVIEWE host environment sends commands directly to CA SYSVIEW and returns output from those commands directly to the OPS/REXX external data queue.

Note: For usability and new functionality information, see the example in member SYSVIEWE of the SAMPLES data set.

For example, the following code:

ADDRESS SYSVIEWE
"COMMAND(LINKLIST)"
"COMMAND(END)"
do while QUEUED() > 0
  pull line
  say line
end

Produces output similar to the following:

Usage Notes:

• The first character in each returned line indicates the type of data being returned.
• The END command must be the last command you send to the API. As a result of the END command, the RC variable is set to 20 to indicate that the API has terminated.
• The ADDRESS SYSVIEWE host environment is not available in AOF rules.
