z/OS Batch execution commands
To properly enter the z/OS Batch execution commands, you must observe the command syntax as well as the following general rules:
- Each command must begin with a hyphen (-) or a forward slash (/).
- At least one space between commands is required (for example: -A -V ).
- Do not put spaces within commands, except for -I, -O and -V, which require a space before the source or target name.
- Execution commands are not case sensitive.
- When specifying commands, the entire command string (the map name and its associated commands and options) may be on one line or several lines if the -@ command is used.
Only the execution commands listed in the following table are supported under z/OS Batch. The majority of these commands are described in the Execution Commands documentation. If there is a difference in how the command is used for z/OS Batch, the exception is noted in the Syntax column. Commands only used by z/OS Batch are marked "Unique to z/OS Batch" in the Syntax column. z/OS Batch-specific commands are not listed in the Execution Commands documentation, so are described here.
