Abstract for TSO/E System Programming Command Reference

Purpose of this information

This information describes the syntax of TSO/E commands that can be used by a system programmer to:

Add, change, or delete entries in SYS1.UADS and the broadcast data set
Review the contents of SYS1.UADS
Synchronize the broadcast data set with either the RACF® data base, SYS1.UADS, or both
Perform functions similar to that of the system operator, such as:
- Cancelling a terminal session
- Displaying information concerning system activity
- Monitoring system activities
- Sending messages
- Using SLIP to trap and debug system errors
- Terminating the monitoring activities
Display, dynamically update, or check the syntax of the IKJTSOxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB
Convert entries in SYS1.UADS to the RACF data base
Test an authorized program or command processor
Test installation-written exits and debug user-written control records
Delete (remove from use through the virtual lookaside facility) partitioned data sets or named collections of data
Establish an extended MCS console session and perform MVS™ operator activities
Maintain a profile to tailor message processing during an extended MCS console session
Debug system errors and/or CLIST errors
Debug problems in the Information Center Facility CLISTs and REXX execs.

Note: When you see the term JESPLEX in this publication, understand it to mean either a logical grouping of JES2 systems that share the same multi-access spool (MAS) or a logical grouping of JES3 systems (each JES3 system consisting of one global JES3 system and some number of local JES3 systems).

Who should use this information

This information is intended for system programmers who install, maintain, and customize TSO/E.

How this information is organized

This information has three topics as follows:

Introduction describes the conventions and notations used for command syntax throughout the book. It also contains rules for coding commands and subcommands.
Command syntax describes the syntax of individual TSO/E commands and subcommands.
Information Center Facility trace commands briefly describes the Information Center Facility trace commands that you can use to diagnose problems with the Facility's CLISTs and REXX execs.

How to use this information

If you are not familiar with TSO/E, read Introduction to learn about the syntax conventions and coding rules for the system commands described in this book. Command syntax describes the use of the individual commands and subcommands and is intended as a reference for system programming. Read Information Center Facility trace commands if you need information on trace functions for the Information Center Facility's CLISTs and REXX execs.
