Keywords Common to All ADDRESS OPSCTL COF Commands

All ADDRESS OPSCTL COF host commands share the following keywords, which support cross-system execution:

OUTPUT or NOOUTPUT

Determines whether the command returns output to the external data queue. OUTPUT and NOOUTPUT are mutually exclusive. Specify OUTPUT to have output returned; otherwise, specify NOOUTPUT.

SYSTEM(sysname)

Defines the system name for the remote copy of CA OPS/MVS. The value of sysname can contain from one to eight characters.

SYSWAIT(seconds)

Defines the maximum time that the command waits for output from the remote system. You can specify a value from 1 to 300 seconds; the default is the value of the MSFSYSWAIT parameter.

Omit the SYSWAIT keyword if you specify NOOUTPUT, because there is no reason to wait unless you want to collect output.

Commands issued to the local system ignore the SYSWAIT keyword.
