OMVS, a 3270 terminal interface to the z/OS shell
The explanations and examples in this topic assume that the z/OS® shell has been set up in your profile. The information presented here is primarily directed towards users of the z/OS shell.
The TSO/E OMVS command is one method of accessing the z/OS shell. It provides a 3270 terminal interface to the shell. To use the OMVS interface to the shell, you must be working at a 3270 terminal or a computer with 3270 emulation.
You issue the OMVS command from TSO/E:
- In an SNA network, remote users access TSO/E through VTAM®.
- In a TCP/IP network, remote users that have the Telnet 3270 client function access TSO/E by entering the TN3270 command. See the TCP/IP documentation for your system or the documentation for your computer's 3270 emulation.
