Introduction to IBM Connect:Direct commands
Use IBM® Connect:Direct® commands to submit and manipulate Processes stored in the Transmission Control Queue (TCQ). For example, you can select, delete, and suspend Processes by using IBM Connect:Direct commands.
You can use either of the following two methods to issue commands:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Batch Interface | Enables you to issue IBM Connect:Direct commands with the DGADBATC program in a batch environment. See Introduction to the Batch Interface for more information about how to use the Batch Interface. |
| Batch Interface for PDS copy | Enables you to issue IBM Connect:Direct commands with the DGA#CBAT program in a batch environment. See The batch interface for PDS/PDSE copy for more information about how to use the Batch Interface in copy of full PDS or subset of PDS from CDZ to CDU and CDW. |
| Interactive User | Provides easy-to-use command entry through fill-in-the-blank screens. The Interactive User Interface (IUI) is an ISPF Dialog online interface. See Introduction to the Interactive User Interface (IUI), for more information on how to use the IUI. |
Some command options which you can select through the IUI do not have a batch equivalent. The documentation notes these exceptions in option descriptions.
