How to use the example system

Figure 1 and Figure 2 show two aspects of the example system used to explain DFSMShsm. The figures are separated into SMS-related and non-SMS-related examples to simplify the discussions. Figure 1 shows the unified system. The following major features affect the way in which the DFSMShsm system commands are structured.
