TSO / COMMONLY USED COMMANDS


The common TSO commands listed are in the following format, COMMAND(ABREVIATION) and a short description of the command. All of these commands can be used in BROWSE and EDIT modes, however any changes made in BROWSE will not be saved, and the are only valid in a sequential or partitioned dataset and/or member. For further information and more commands consult the TSO TUTORIAL. All of these commands are entered on the COMMAND LINE (COMMAND===>) It is important to ensure that the profile of your TSO SESSION is in accordance with your desires. The following is a common set-up; however, the profiles may be changed by placing the profile and/or option (on or off). PROFILE(PRO or PROF): Lists your profiles and current options. Will also show the current boundaries of your TSO session, the current tab setting, and display the column indicator. RECOVERY: SET TO OFF. Recovery is used to store what you are currently typing into a recovery dataset; and if the system should crash, it would save what you had been typing and allow you to continue from that point. The Recovery mode causes a great drain on TSO response time. It is recommanded not to use RECOVERY! NUMBER(NUM): Set to OFF. Affects the sequential line numbering on the left side of the screen. HEX: Set to OFF. Displays the data in a hexadecimal format. NULLS: Set to ON. Except for the current line being typed, allows you to insert characters using the insert key . TABS: Set to ON or OFF, depending on whether you have set up the TAB stop marker and are utilizing the TAB key. AUTOSAVE: Set to ON. Allows you to retain data when exiting via END or RETURN command. STATS: Set to ON. Allows the system to update your dataset information that can be found when accessing the 3.2 or SAR screens. PROFILE: Set to UNLOCK. IMACRO: Set to NONE. PACK: Set to OFF. NOTE: Set to ON. AUTOLIST: Set to OFF. Under BROWSE and EDIT, in addition to the profile commands shown on the preceding page, the following can be used. CANCEL(CAN): Causes the system to leave a dataset without saving the changes.

CHANGE(C or CHG): Causes the system to change the first whatever to the new name:. COPY: Causes data to be copied from one dataset to another. FIND(F): Will locate a character, word, or string of characters/words; however, if a space(s) exists between the words/characters, put the string in single quotes ('). LOCATE(L): In a patitioned dataset will locate a member, in a sequential dataset or member will locate a line number MOVE: Same as COPY, except that the source is deleted after the move operation. RESET: Causes a general resetting of intensified messages, incomplete line commands, and special lines. SAVE: The data being edited in a dataset is kept and allows editing to be continued. Only in EDIT mode. SUBMIT(SUB): Causes a print or production batch JCL to be executed. CREATE: Causes a line or block of lines to be stored in any partitioned dataset as a new member. The line(s) to be stored are designated by the C or CC line command (if using a double line command, such as CC, the command must be used on the first line and again on the last line of the block). REPLACE: Same as CREATE, except that it allows an existing member or an entire sequential dataset to be replaced. The following commands are known as 'LINE COMMANDS' and are used in the first position of the numerical column on the left hand side of the terminal screen: BNDS: Causes display of the column boundary lines, to allow redefinition of boundary positions. (Column 1 of the text portion of the dataset is a command column. If you wish to move all of the data to the right or left, you would not want to remove the informative characters in column 1. BNDS would be typed on a line and entered. In column 2, place '<', which indicates the left hand boundary, '>' indicates the right hand boundary. After setting the boundaries, the text could be shifted without affecting the column 1 command characters.) COLS: Causes a grid to be displayed numbering the columns on the display screen. TABS: Causes and allows the setting of TAB markers, which regulate the right ->| and left |<tab keys. Place an asterisk (*) in the column before the tab stop column. I (= INSERT): Causes a new line to be inserted after this line. D (= DELETE): Causes the line to be deleted. A DD block can be used to delete successive lines by placing a DD on the first line and a DD on the last line of the block, hit enter. R (= REPEAT): Causes the line to be repeated and the duplicated line to follow immediately. The line will be duplicated X number of times, by placing a numeric figure immediately after the R. A RR block can be used to repeat successive lines by placing a RR on the first line and a Navistar Mainframe Operations TSO Commonly Used Commands Copyright International Business Machines Corporation 1999, 2007.

RR on the last line. Multiple blocks of the repeated block can be created by placing a numeric figure immediately after the RR on the first line of the block. M (= MOVE): Identifies a line to be moved. Must be used in conjunction with a (after) or b (before) on another line. A MM block can be used to move successive lines at one time. Place a MM on the first line and a MM on the last line of the block to be moved. Remember to use the A or B on the line where the moved lines are to be inserted. C (= COPY): Identifies a line to be copied and moved at the same time. A or B must be used to identify where the insert is to take place. A CC block can be used to copy and move a block of lines. A (= AFTER): As stated in previous definitions, an A dictates that moved data is to be inserted after that line. B (= BEFORE): As stated in previous definitions, an B dictates that moved data is to be inserted before that line. < (= LEFT): Causes the contents of the line to be shifted to the left (the column 1 warning under BNDS about losing column 1 print commands does not apply - DATA only will be shifted). The standard movement is two characters; however more or less will be performed when indicated by a numeric designation following <. A << block command can be used, and a numeric figure following << indicates the number of characters that the block will be shifted to the left. > (= RIGHT): Causes the contents of the line to be shifted to the right (the column 1 warning under BNDS about losing column 1 print commands does not apply - DATA only will be shifted). The standard movement is two characters; however more or less will be performed when indicated by a numeric designation following >. A >> block command can be used, and a numeric figure following >> indicates the number of characters that the block will be shifted to the right. if the boundary is not protected. ( (= LEFT): Same as <; however, column 1 print commands will be lost ) (= RIGHT): Same a >; however, column 1 print commands will be lost if the boundary is not protected, for column 1 will be move to the right and no longer be in column 1. X (= EXCLUDE): Causes the line to be excluded from display. May also be used to limit the scope of the FIND and CHANGE commands. S (= SHOW): Causes the above EXCLUDED line to be displayed. TE: Facilitates bulk text entry by allowing to type continuously without regard to the line number area. TF: Causes reflowing of a paragraph of text from the cursorposition to the end of the paragraph.

TS: Causes splitting of a line into two lines at the designated cursor position to facilitate the insertion of new material in existing text. The following are the print commands that were referred to previous in the preceding definitions: + (PLUS) allows print to overlap or produce darker print. This command does not work on the RM904 or dowstairs laser printers. (SPACE) allows the cursor to drop to the next line. 0 (ZERO) allows the cursor to drop down two lines. - (DASH) allows the cursor to drop down three lines. C P'<' P'>' ALL Changes all lower case characters in the dataset to upper case. To change all upper case characters to lower case use: C P'>' p'<' all. Individual characters can be used instead of < and > in the first P' ' area with < being lower case and > being upper case for the second P' ' area.
