About This Guide › Issue Commands › System Name

System Name

If the system name for z/OS Agent is not ZOSAGENT, you need to type the system name when entering a command in batch. For example, if the system name is ZAGA, type:

//EXEC PGM=ZOSAGENT,PARM='SUBSYS(ZAGA)',REGION=4000K

Steplib

If the TSO command processor is not in a LINKLIST library, you need a STEPLIB or JOBLIB statement in your JCL. Your statement looks like the following:

//STEPLIB DD DSN=CYB.ZAG.LOAD,DISP=SHR
