Commands for managing resources
You manage your resource definitions using commands supplied as part of CEDA or DFHCSDUP. These commands allow you to work with your resources, for example, by defining, deleting, copying, and renaming.
The commands are listed in Table 1. For the syntax of these commands and information on how to use them, see System definition file utility program (DFHCSDUP).
