Batch TSS Commands and Features
There are two types of TSS commands and one type of TSS statement:
- 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 data entry statements affect only a specific argument and result pair or, in some instances, a group of argument/result pairs.
The following table lists the TSS commands and statements and briefly describes their actions. You can issue all TSS commands from the ETA ISPF interface panels, from the TSO READY prompt, or in a batch job stream. These TSS commands are executed as subcommands of the single TSO command processor load module named ETATSS.
