Defining a system name as a command prefix

You can run IEECMDPF (an IBM-supplied sample program in SYS1.SAMPLIB) to define the system name as a command prefix that substitutes for the ROUTE command on each system.

For example, if you run IEECMDPF on system S01, then the following have the same effect on each system in the sysplex:

ROUTE S01,command
S01 command
S01command

Note: If the system name does not define a valid system, ROUTE name processing does not return an error message.

In a sysplex, if you put a START command for IEECMDPF into a common COMMNDxx Parmlib member, you could have a short-form ROUTE function for each system in the sysplex. Then from any system in the sysplex, any of the following would route a command to system S02:

ROUTE S02,command
S02 command
S02command
