Guidance for issuing console commands in z/OS
These examples use a broker called MQP1BRK. Start
and stop the broker or User Name Server using the
MVS START (S) and STOP (P)
commands. If you want to pass information to the broker or User Name Server while
it is running, use the MVS MODIFY command (F)
to issue commands. For example:
F MQP1BKR,rt
This list summarizes the rules you must follow when issuing console
commands:
Each command starts with a verb followed by zero or more keyword=value
pairs.
There must be one or more blanks between the verb and the first keyword.
All characters are converted to lowercase, unless they are within quotation
marks.
Multiple keywords are separated by , with no blanks.
The keyword is always case insensitive.
The value is case sensitive, unless specified otherwise (for example Yes/No,
trace-modes).
Each keyword must be followed by the equals sign = and parameter
value. Enter parameters in any order in the form:
flag=value
and
separate them with commas. Repeated parameters are not allowed.
Strings that contain blanks or special characters must be enclosed in
single quotation marks ( ' ). If the string itself contains a quotation mark,
the quotation mark is represented by two single quotation marks.
The verb and keywords are not case sensitive.
On mixed case consoles the case of values in single quotation marks (
' ) is not changed.
For YES/NO flags, all case combinations are allowed.
The maximum length of the MODIFY command is 126 characters,
including
F taskname,
An example console command:
F MQP1BRK,changetrace u=Yes,l=normal,e='myExecutionGroup'
