Use the OPERATOR command (along with its subcommands) to regulate and maintain TSO/E from a terminal. To authorize the use of OPERATOR by other personnel, specify OPER for a user ID when you create or change an entry in SYS1.UADS; or when you add or alter a user profile in the RACF® data base. See z/OS TSO/E Customization for additional information about the RACF data base.

The OPERATOR command is not supported under z/OSMF ISPF.

The syntax of the OPERATOR command is:
