D Display information about an initiator.
DL Display the long form of information about an initiator.
JD Display the job's use of devices. (Access the Job Detail Device panel.)
JDD Display the job ddnames (access the Job DDName panel).
   
JM Display the job's use of memory. (Access the Job Detail Memory panel.)
P Stop an initiator when the current job completes. (JES-managed initiators only.)
S Start an initiator.
