STATUS—Display Control Option Settings

Valid on z/OS and z/VM.

Use the STATUS control option to display the current settings of various control options.

In z/VM, this control option has the following format, meaning you can specify only the command (without options):

TSS MODIFY(STATUS)

In z/OS, you can list options in any order, and the output is presented according to the order that you used.

The TSS MODIFY(STATUS) command can include a single option to display only that information or to acquire information not set in the STATUS control option. For example, TSS MODIFY(STATUS(JES)) includes a single specified option to show JES information.

All entry methods are accepted.
