Simulator command summary
IMS Batch Terminal Simulator provides many simulator commands to support testing of various applications. Each command has default keyword values that are defined internally by IMS Batch Terminal Simulator.

Summary of simulator commands
The following table summarizes the simulator commands and shows their coded symbols.
| Simulator command | Function |
|---|---|
| Transaction (./T) | Defines a transaction and the application program. Also used to define an alternate logical terminal. |
| COBOL (./C) | Defines the usage of interactive debug of some languages. |
| Device (./D) | Specifies the I/O PCB terminal-simulated device, the end-of-segment and end-of-message characters, whether a user-written output formatting routine or IMS Batch Terminal Simulator formatting is to be used, and the feature byte describing the features coded in the IMS MFS control blocks. |
| Environment (./E) | Defines the environment that the transaction is executed in. |
| Output (./O) | Specifies those items that are to be excluded from the IMS Batch Terminal Simulator output listing and TSO terminal display (for example, screen images, field attribute characters, application program statistics, and IMS Batch Terminal Simulator messages). |
| Patch (./P) | Specifies a modification to be made in main storage to a particular load module. |
| Reader (./R) | Specifies whether the simulator statements are in character or hexadecimal format. |
| Snap (./S) | Specifies an area in main storage to be snapshot-dumped and the number of times for a particular PCB and IMS function code combination. It can also be used to set a given status code after a DL/I call. |
| SPA (./SPA) | Specifies an SPA to be initialized for passing to the application program. |
| Comment (./*) | Specifies the comments to be included in the printed output. |
| Debug commands | Specifies the debugging options to diagnose problems. |
Default values and syntax specifications for simulator commands
The following table provides a summary of the commands and states the defaults of the keywords, indicating the length of their operands and whether their values are coded in EBCDIC character format or in hexadecimal notation. The maximum and minimum value for a given operand (where applicable) is also indicated.
| Simulator command | Keyword value | Default value | Rep | Length | Magnitude | ||
