Request Temporary Changes from the Command Line

Experienced EPI users can set control characters or SESSCMD keywords from the command line of the EPI Recorder panel without displaying the Temporary Change panel.

To request temporary changes from the command line

  1. Type the following text on the command line and press Enter: 
    O abbreviation newchar

    abbreviation is the two-character abbreviation for the control character; newchar is the character that will replace the default character. For example, the following text changes the absolute location character from # to $:

    O AL $
  2. Set a SESSCMD keyword, type the following text on the command line before pressing the Enter key: 
    O keyword value

    You must specify the complete keyword name. For example, to direct CA OPS/MVS to wait 75 seconds for a SESSCMD response, you would enter this text on the command line:

    O CMDWAIT 75
