EXITCMD
Specifies the user exit that TSO SPOC invokes before sending the command to OM. Can be either a single or a list of user exits. Command exits are called with a TSO command processor parameter list. All command exits are called before the program exits. On entry to the routine, register 1 points to the Command Processor Parameter List (CPPL), and is defined by macro IKJCPPL.
EXITPGM
Specifies the user exit that TSO SPOC invokes before sending the command to OM. Can be either a single or a list of user exits. Program exits are called with a z/OS® batch program parameter list. Command exits are called before the program exits. On entry to the routine, register 1 points to a standard parameter list. Register 1 points to a full word, which points to a half-word length followed by the parameter string.

PLEX(plexname)
Specifies the name of the IMSplex to which to issue the command. If no IMSplex name is specified, the user's default IMSplex name is used.
ROUTE(ims_names)

ROUTE(*)
