TM BATCH | TM B

This command allows you to group TM commands in a data set and request that they be processed by issuing a single command.

Scope: System

Duration: One time effect.

Requests the command syntax from HELP.

The name of the data set where the commands to be executed are stored.

The rules for storing the text representing the commands are as follows:

• Only columns 1 to 72 inclusive are processed.
• Records containing /* starting in column 1 are treated as comments.
• Commands must be contained within a single statement. That is, continuation to another statement is not allowed.
• The responses from the commands are sent to the console where the TM BATCH command was entered, unless the L= keyword was specified on one of the commands.

If this keyword is specified, the commands are displayed on the console before they are executed.

The short form for this keyword is D.
