Using the Online Interface

The CA TLMS online interface lets you display and update information stored in the Volume Master File (VMF). Choose the functions you want to perform from the menu. You control the display or input by responding to prompts on the screens.

Some screens are online reports displaying requested information in a list. Other screens allow you to update values in the VMF.

Although these screens replace batch commands, you can still enter commands in batch mode or online using MCS (Multiple Console Support), TSO.

A Tape Inquiry (TI) command lets you display selected fields from the VMF for cataloged data sets when you are using the ISPF Data Set List panels. See ISPF Tape Inquiry (TI) Display for information on this display.
