Issue Commands

An ACL/E program can issue any command or sequence of commands so that you can return to the menu, jump to another session, start a new session, or lock the screen to force a user to re-enter the password.

A COMMAND statement is used to issue a command from an ACL/E program, such as jumping to the next session or displaying the menu. You can use COMMAND statements to terminate sessions, sign users off, and log terminals off. The following sections discuss alternative ACL/E commands you can use to perform these functions.

The format for a COMMAND statement is:

COMMAND 'command string'

where 'command string' is the command you want to execute. If the command string contains spaces or punctuation, the string must be enclosed in single quotes. If the command string does not contain spaces or punctuation, the single quotes are optional.
