Issue Started Task Commands

From the monitor, you can issue commands to perform started task functions. For example, if you enter CMD beside a CICS task, you can perform CEMT transactions with the task. The CMD command uses the MODIFY system command.

To issue commands to a started task

  1. Enter CMD beside the started task.

    The Started Task Commands panel appears.

  2. Issue a started task command.

    The function requested by the command is performed.

Note: You can switch between the MODIFY and native command mode by pressing F12 (Mode).
