Quick Play—Select a Script and Go (VTAM)


Use Quick Play to initiate interactive playback without accessing Domain Traveler. Quick Play can display a list of all scripts in a selected data set if you are unsure of the name of the script you want to play. You can also browse or edit scripts from Quick Play.
