Issuing commands to the z/OS console
You operate the integration node using the z/OS® START, STOP, and MODIFY commands.
- The z/OS operator console
- The TSO CONSOLE facility
- The CONSOLE interface from REXX
- Products such as SDSF
- z/OS automation products, such as NetView®
However, you are likely to need to issue commands with mixed case, because integration server names are often in mixed case. You can issue commands with mixed case on the z/OS console, using the REXX CONSOLE interface, with products like SDSF V2.10 and higher, and NetView. Releases of SDSF before V2.10, and the TSO CONSOLE facility, do not support passing mixed case data.
//MI01CMD JOB MSGCLASS=H
// COMMAND 'f MQP1BRK,ct t=yes,e='default',l=debug,f='lowmfl''
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
If your product for issuing console commands supports
mixed case input, you might need to take special actions to use mixed
case. For example in SDSF on OS/390® V2.10
and above, you can enter mixed case keyword values by typing /
,
pressing ENTER
, and entering the command in the popup
window. If you enter /
followed by the command, the
command is translated to uppercase. In NetView, prefix the command with NETVASIS
to
get lowercase support.
