Issuing system commands with ISFSLASH
You issue system commands using the ISFSLASH host environment command as follows:
>>-Address SDSF--"--ISFSLASH--+-(--stem--)-+--+---------------+--"->< '-(--list--)-' '-(--options--)-'
- stem
- is the name of a stem variable containing the list of system commands
to be issued. The 0 variable of the stem must contain a count of the
variables in the stem. The variable stem should:
- End in a period, to allow the commands to be put into compound variables
- Be enclosed in parentheses, to indicate that it is a stem variable
- Be 1 to 128 characters long
- Not start with the characters ISF
- list
- is a list of one or more system commands to be issued, separated
by a blank or a comma. Enclose a command in single quotation marks, whether you are issuing it directly through ISFSLASH or using a stem variable, if the command:
- Contains special characters or embedded blanks
- Requires mixed case. Although SDSF preserves the case of the command text, Consoles folds the text to uppercase in issuing the command, unless it is enclosed in single quotation marks.
The W and I prefix parameters of the slash (/) command are not supported. Use the WAIT and INTERNAL options instead. See Options for slash (/) commands for more information.
