How External Line Commands are Processed

When you define external line commands, understand the actions CA SYSVIEW takes to find the specified line command. This understanding helps ensure CA SYSVIEW locates and processes your line command.

With externally defined line commands active, the following process occurs when you enter a line command:

1. The user enters a line command on a specific data row.
2. The CA SYSVIEW display module invokes the line command subroutine LOCATE to search the following command types in sequence until it locates the specified line command:
   1. Internally defined line commands
   2. Externally defined product, user, and system line commands
   3. Primary commands (limited usage)
3. If no match is found, the following error message displays:

   GSVX156E Invalid line command - <linecmd>
