Batch TSS Commands


There are three types of TSS commands:

  • TSS data set commands apply to the TSS data set and affect all tables in the data set.
  • TSS table commands apply to a specific TSS table or, in some instances, to a group of tables.
  • TSS table entry commands affect only a specific argument/function pair or, in some instances, a group of argument/function pairs.

The following table lists the TSS commands and provides a brief description of their actions. You can issue all TSS commands from the DELTA IMS ISPF interface panels, the TSO READY prompt, or in a batch job stream. These TSS commands execute as subcommands of the single TSO command processor load module named DLATSS.
