Program operators
A program operator is an application program that is authorized
to issue certain VTAM® commands
and receive VTAM messages. A
program operator can be used to:
- Enter VTAM commands (except for commands to start or halt VTAM) from a terminal in the domain
- Monitor and control elements in the domain at program execution speed
- Define specialized commands (for example, to display the status of the entire domain)
- Reformat responses to VTAM commands (such as to reformat the status display of the entire domain to fit on a 3270 display screen)
