Fast Path/EP products use two DD statements (PFPOPTS and PFPSYSIN) for input control statements. In offline mode, an operator interface is available for diagnostic command input.

The standard set of input control statements have the following requirements:

  • You can enter commands anywhere in positions 1 through 72 of the input statement (positions 73 through 80 are ignored).
  • There are no continuation characters.
  • They must contain 80-character fixed length records.
  • A command can have keywords and subcommands, separated where necessary with separator characters.
  • An asterisk (*) in column 1 indicates a comment.



 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
