You can use the following MVS™ system
symbols in the values you specify on VTAM® network
operator commands:
- &SYSCLONE
- Represents a 1–2-character shorthand notation for the name
of the system
- &SYSNAME
- Represents a 1–8-character system name
- &SYSPLEX
- Represents a 1–8-character sysplex name
- &SYSR1
- Represents a 1–6-character sysres volume
- &installation-defined system symbol
- Represents a 1–8-character identifier. You can define this
symbol to be any identifier you want.
The substitution text for these system symbols is defined in MVS and is substituted by MVS in place of the symbols when
commands are processed. See z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference for information about how to define the symbols
in MVS.
MVS system symbols can be
used to eliminate the need to know the exact name of a resource on
the system from which a command is issued.
