BESSCMDS

The BESSCMDS parmlib member contains operator console commands that are processed by CA Tape Encryption after successful initialization. Any MVS, JES, and CA Tape Encryption console command can be specified in this member. If no commands are needed at startup, $NULL can be coded as the value for the StartupCommands attribute in the ParmlibDirectory section of BESPARMS.

To define the desired startup console commands, use the CMD or COMMAND attributes in the StartupCommands section of the BESSCMDS member.

Example: Startup commands

This example shows the startup commands:

<StartupCommands>
	CMD='D U,TAPE,ONLINE'
	CMD='&BES DISPLAY PARMLIB,SHORT,HARDCOPY'
	CMD='&BES DISPLAY STATUS'
	COMMAND='D A,L'
	COMMAND='&BES D A'

Note: The use of the subsystem symbolic &BES in this example ensures that the BES command is processed by the current CA Tape Encryption subsystem being initialized.
