SESSCMD Keywords and Defaults

The following lists the keywords you can specify for SESSCMD command processors in your REXX EXEC, their purpose, and their default values:

AUTOMATIC ENTER OPTION

Determines whether the REXX EXEC automatically appends an Enter keystroke to each character string you send to a session through the SESSCMD command processor. The default value for the ENTER parameter is NO, for these reasons:

• Setting the parameter to YES gives you the option of issuing multiple SESSCMDs to place multiple character strings on the session screen-or to fill out information about multiple screens-before issuing an ENTER keystroke.
• If you issue the C, L, or N command while recording and the automatic ENTER option is set to NO, the session receives the keystroke but will not execute it until you use the K command to issue an ENTER keystroke.

Default: NO

CMDWAIT

Sets the maximum number of seconds CA OPS/MVS waits for the session to respond to a SESSCMD command processor. This number can be any value from 0 to 600.

Default: 60

MAXCMDOUT

Sets the number of lines of the SESSCMD response that should be captured and returned to the REXX EXEC. This number can be any value from 0 to 1000.

Default: 200

PREFIX

Provides the prefix for a set of REXX variables.

Default: LINE

TRUNCATE

Specifies whether CA OPS/MVS truncates the screen image display when you issue a SESSCMD command processor.

Default: NO
