<F1> <F13> |
HELP |
Displays a help panel that explains the TSO/E OMVS command
and the three modes you can work in: shell, subcommand, and TSO/E. |
<F2> <F14> |
SUBCMD |
Processes an OMVS subcommand. A subcommand is a command that
is passed to the OMVS command processor (instead of the shell). Most
subcommands are used to control, or temporarily change, the OMVS interface.
You can either enter a subcommand from the shell command line or switch
to subcommand mode to do it. To run a subcommand from the shell
command line, type the subcommand and press this function key.
To
leave the shell session and enter subcommand mode, press this function
key when the shell command line is empty. You can type the OMVS subcommands
at the command line in subcommand mode. To resume working in the shell,
press the Return function key.
|
<F3> <F15> |
HLPRETRN or RETURN |
If you are viewing help information, pressing this key removes
the help information from the screen. If you are in subcommand mode,
pressing this key returns you to the shell session. (Refer to Switching to subcommand mode for a discussion of subcommand mode.) |
<F4> <F16> |
TOP |
Scrolls displayed data back to a screen of the oldest available
output, or, in help, back to the first panel. |
<F5> <F17> |
BOTTOM |
Scrolls displayed data to a screen of the most recent output,
or, in help, to the final panel. |
<F6> <F18> |
TSO |
You have the choice of switching to TSO/E command mode to enter
a TSO/E command or running the TSO/E command from the shell command
line. To switch to TSO/E command mode, press <F6>. To resume working
in the shell, press <PA1>.
To
run a TSO/E command from the shell command line, select one of these
options: - Type the command and press the TSO function key.
- Use the tso shell command to run the
TSO/E command
Note: If you entered the OMVS command from ISPF, you cannot
enter ISPF as a TSO/E command from the shell command line. You can, however, enter the ISHELL command.
When
the TSO/E command completes, typically *** is displayed
on the screen. Press <Enter> or <Clear>
to return to the shell.
|
<F7> <F19> |
BACKSCR |
Scrolls the displayed output backward, a screen at a time.
The scrolling ends when you reach the oldest available saved line
in a stack of saved output lines. |
<F8> <F20> |
SCROLL |
Scrolls the output display a full screen forward. |
<F9> <F21> |
NEXTSESS |
Displays the next session whose session number is higher than
that of the session currently displayed. However, if the highest-numbered
session is currently displayed, the lowest-numbered session will be
displayed. |
<F10> <F22> |
REFRESH |
Updates the screen with new data from the shell session. Use
this function key if the display of output (for example, output from
a command you issued) is incomplete , but the session is now displaying INPUT status. |
<F11> <F23> |
FWDRETR |
Used with <F12> to
retrieve commands from the stack of saved input lines. If you press <F12> one too many
times and go past the line you want, you can press <F11> to display
the line that was previously retrieved by <F12>. |
<F12> <F24> |
RETRIEVE |
Retrieves the most recently entered input line from a stack
of saved input lines. This key starts retrieving with the most recent
in the stack of saved lines and works down to the oldest available. |
|
ALARM |
Toggles the setting for the 3270 alarm to sound when the shell
writes a <BEL> character. Some applications use an alarm to
alert the user to particular events. The default setting is to sound
the alarm. You can select a key to switch it off and on. |
|
AUTOSCR |
Toggles the setting for autoscrolling of input and output written
to the screen. The default setting is to autoscroll; you can select
a key to switch it off and on. |
|
CLOSE |
Ends the shell session currently displayed. Close provides
the same function as the Quit function key. |
|
CONTROL |
Treats a character on the command line as part of an escape
sequence, and does not append a <newline> character to the sequence.
For example, if you type d on the command line and
press the Control function key, the system processes the d as
the EBCDIC equivalent of the ASCII control sequence <Ctrl-D>. |
|
ECHO |
Toggles the automatic hiding and display of input. If pressed
while an application has control over the display of input, the application
no longer controls it. If pressed while the application does
not control the display of input, the application is given control.
See the description of the Hide function key.
|
|
HALFSCR |
Scrolls forward half of the currently displayed output. |
|
HIDE |
Toggles the hiding and display of input. If you are using
OMVS in ECHO mode, pressing this key overrides the visibility asked
for by an application, for the next input only. In NOECHO mode, if
the input area is not hidden, pressing this key hides the input area
for the next input only. If the input area is already hidden, pressing
this key makes the input area visible.
|
|
NO |
Deactivates a function key so that it performs no function. |
|
NOALARM |
Performs the same function as Alarm. |
|
NOAUTO |
Performs the same function as Auto. |
|
NOECHO |
Performs the same function as Echo. |
|
NOHIDE |
Performs the same function as Hide. |
|
NOPFSHOW |
Toggles the display of function key settings. The default setting
is to display the settings; you can select a key to switch the display
off and on. |
|
PFSHOW |
Performs the same function as NoPFShow. |
|
OPEN |
Starts another shell session and automatically switches to
it. The session is assigned the next unused session number. |
|
PREVSESS |
Displays the next-lower-numbered session. However, if the
lowest-numbered session is currently displayed, the highest-numbered
session will be displayed. |
|
QUIT |
Ends the current session, and displays the next-lower-numbered
session. However, if the lowest-numbered session is currently displayed,
the next-higher-numbered session is displayed. If only one session
is active, Quit causes the OMVS command to quit. The workstation returns
to TSO/E, and the shell stops processing.
|
|
QUITALL |
Ends all active shell sessions. QuitAll causes the OMVS command
to quit. The workstation returns to TSO/E. Note: If the OMVS interface
is running in SHAREAS mode (shared address space) and you quit all
sessions (QuitAll or Quit if there is just one session), the shell
process ends immediately.
