How to Use POI Command Processors

Use the following table to determine where and how to use POI command processors. Keep these guidelines in mind:

All POI commands can run as stand-alone TSO command processors or TSO/E CLIST commands.
In TSO/E REXX and OPS/REXX, all commands can run as ADDRESS TSO host commands. The TSO/E column in the table indicates what commands can also be used as REXX functions.
The OPS/REXX Preferred Method column in the table shows the recommended host environment for invocation of the command, or the equivalent OPS/REXX built-in function.
The NetView column in the table indicates what POI commands can execute as NetView commands or NetView REXX functions.
The Batch column in the table indicates the ability of a command to run outside of TSO using a z/OS parameter string as input to the TSO/E CALL command or the following z/OS JCL statement:
```
// EXEC PGM=command,PARM='command parameter'
```
