COMMAND—Process InfoSphere CDC commands

This command identifies the suffix(es) of the CHCCMDxx members (in the CHCCNTRL data set) containing one or more InfoSphere® CDC console commands that are issued when this command is invoked.

Any console command (including COMMAND) can be specified in a CHCCMDxx member. Commands specified in a member must omit the MODIFY, F, <procname> and <identifier> elements.

Note: A configuration control statement supports a keyword called COMMAND that provides the same function after successful InfoSphere CDC address space initialization. If the COMMAND keyword was specified in the statement, use of the COMMAND command in your environment may be redundant.

You can also store CDC for z/OS operational directives for later use.

Syntax

CommSuffix

Identifies the suffix of a CHCCMDxx member (in the CHCCNTRL data set) containing one or more InfoSphere CDC console commands that are issued when this command is invoked.

You can specify the suffix of a CHCCMDxx member that had its commands invoked after InfoSphere CDC address space initialization. In this case, the same set of commands is invoked again when COMMAND is issued.

Multiple suffixes can be specified when you want to invoke console commands in more than one CHCCMDxx member. The order of the suffixes specified in this setting determines the order in which sets of commands are issued. However, one should not assume that the order of the specified suffixes determines the order in which sets of commands complete their execution. In other words, command completions may not necessarily follow the specified suffix order.

Examples

MODIFY CHCAS,COMMAND=(01)

Invokes the InfoSphere CDC console commands defined in the CHCCMD01 member.

Note: If you specify one suffix, the parentheses are not required. However, you can use parentheses in each COMMAND invocation, as they are required when specifying more than one suffix.

F CHCAS,COMMAND=(02,03)

Invokes the InfoSphere CDC console commands defined in the CHCCMD02 and CHCCMD03 members.

The set of commands in CHCCMD02 is issued before the set of commands in CHCCMD03.
