The Parameter Library (PARMLIB) › VTSCMDS Parmlib Member

VTSCMDS Parmlib Member

The VTSCMDS parmlib member contains operator console commands that are processed by CA Vtape after successful initialization. Any MVS, JES, and CA Vtape 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 Parmlib Directory Section of VTPARMS parmlib member.

To define the desired startup console commands, use the CMD or COMMAND attributes in the <StartupCommands> section of the VTSCMDS member, as shown in the following example:

<StartupCommands>
    CMD='D U,TAPE,ONLINE'
    CMD='&SVTS DISPLAY PARMLIB,SHORT,HARDCOPY'

    CMD='&SVTS DISPLAY STATUS'
    COMMAND='D A,L'
    COMMAND='&SVTS D A'

Note: The use of the subsystem symbolic &SVTS in the preceding example will ensure that the SVTS command is processed by the current CA Vtape subsystem being initialized.
