Information about Commands

The following list provides miscellaneous information about CA SYSVIEW commands.

• Commands Executed in the Current ASID

  When commands are executed for CA SYSVIEW, the current address space ID is used. To change the address space ID when appropriate, you can use either the ASID function command or an ASID parameter of a command.

• Dynamic Changes Not Saved at Next IPL

  Some changes that you can make when you issue CA SYSVIEW commands are only in effect until the next system IPL.

  For example, use the ADD subcommand to add a data set to the LINKLIST. That data set addition is in effect only until the next IPL of your system. To see if this restriction applies to a particular command, see the online help for that command.

• Save time with the RECALL and REVIEW Commands

  The RECALL and REVIEW commands help you save time when you are issuing commands.

  • RECALL Command

    The RECALL command displays, on the command line of the current display, the last command that you executed. This recall helps you to remember previously executed commands so that you can issue them again without having to type them in. When the command you issued has been recalled, you can issue it again by pressing Enter.

    Note: You cannot recall scrolling commands (unless they contain a parameter) or the REFRESH command. You can recall only one copy of a command that you have entered several times in succession.

  • REVIEW Command

    The REVIEW command displays the contents of the command input stack. The commands you have previously issued are shown and you can optionally modify them and issue them again.

Note: For specific details on using these commands, see online help.
