/SSR command

The /SSR command is a multisegment command that allows the IMS™ operator to enter an external subsystem command as part of the command input. (The external system is not a CCTL subsystem.)

Usage notes

Routing is the only function IMS performs. The command is processed by the external subsystem and the response (from the external subsystem, not CCTL) is routed back to the entering terminal.

All /SSR formats require an EOM indication to denote end-of-message. An EOS indication must be included for all segments that precede the last segment.

text is the alphanumeric external subsystem command.

Example

Entry ET:

  /SSR ;START DATABASE (DSN8D22P)

Response ET:

  DFS058I  SSR COMMAND COMPLETED
 
  DSN9022I ; DSNTDDIS 'START DATABASE' NORMAL COMPLETION

Explanation: The START DATABASE command is successfully routed to the DB2® subsystem for processing.
