Customizing TSO/E commands

TSO/E provides many commands and subcommands that users issue to interact with TSO/E and the MVS™ system. Each command and subcommand operates in a specific way depending on the operands a user specifies. For more information about using commands, see . For more information about the syntax of commands, see and .

TSO/E provides different ways in which you can customize the use of certain commands. This part describes how you can customize these commands to suit your installation's data processing requirements.

One way to customize a particular command is by writing an exit routine. TSO/E provides exits you can use to customize the following commands and subcommands:

ALLOCATE
ALTLIB
CONSOLE and CONSPROF
EDIT
- RENUM subcommand
- MOVE subcommand
- COPY subcommand
EXEC
FREE
LOGON and LOGOFF
LISTBC
OPERATOR SEND
OUTDES
OUPUT, STATUS, and CANCEL
PARMLIB
PRINTDS
SEND
SUBMIT
TEST
TESTAUTH
TRANSMIT and RECEIVE
TSOLIB

Using exits, you can customize commands in various ways. At a minimum, you can use the exits to change the operands a user specifies.

The chapters in this part describe how you can use the individual exits to customize each of the commands listed above, except LOGON and LOGOFF. For information about the LOGON and LOGOFF commands, see Customizing the logon and logoff process. For general information about writing exits, see Writing exit routines.
