Loop

The loop command starts an interactive command line session that is maintained until you enter quit. In an interactive command line session, it is unnecessary to precede each command name with dsmc and your password, if one is required. After you start an interactive session, most of the options you enter with other commands are in effect throughout the session, unless you enter them again using a different setting.

You can enter all valid commands in interactive mode except the schedule and loop commands.

There are some options that you cannot use in the interactive session created by the loop command and are identified in the option description by this statement: This option is valid only on the initial command line. It is not valid in interactive mode.

See Chapter 9, Using Processing Options for options that you cannot use in interactive mode.
