Commands in a DBCTL environment

In a DBCTL environment, there are no outstanding reply numbers for z/OS® consoles, and therefore none should be entered. For a command, just enter the command recognition character (slash or other character preceding the verb) or IMS™ ID, followed by the command. DBCTL does not respond with the DFS996I outstanding reply number.

Examples for DBCTL commands

System console entry for single-segment command:

¢DIS DB PAYROLL

Explanation: ¢ is the command-recognition character for the DBCTL subsystem.

IMS1DIS DB PAYROLL

Explanation: IMS1 is the IMS ID for the DBCTL subsystem.

System console entry for multisegment command:

/RMI DBRC='IC DBD(DEDBDD01) AREA (DD01AR0) ICDSN(FVT31.DEDBDD01.DD01
AR0.IC.DUMMY1) ICDSN2/
/(FVT31.DEDBDD01.DD01AR0.IC2.DUMMY1) HSSP'

Explanation: The first segment of the /RMI command has the command recognition character at the beginning of the segment and at the end of the segment, to indicate another segment follows. The last segment has the command recognition character at the beginning of the segment only.
