/ | x'6I' | Submits an IMS DB/DC or DBCTL command. |
/@ | x’617C’ | Submits an IMS command with IMS generic parameter processing. When the at sign (@) follows the forward slash sign (/), IMS uses its own rules for generic parameter processing. For more information about how to use generic parameters in IMS commands and which commands and keywords are supported by IMS, refer to the section :Generic Parameters" in the IBM documentation IMS Command Reference. |
@ | x'7C' | Sends a command to the command input queue of the queue manager specified in the Target field. |
? | x'6F' | Invokes a SYSPROG command when issued from a BBI-TS command line. |
// | x'6161' | Submits an IMSPlex command These IMS regions do not have to be defined as targets in the BBPARM member BBIJNT00 however, a BMC AMI OpsA PAS connection to one of the IMS regions is required. The commands are issued with a timeout limit of 30 seconds. If an IMSPlex command requires longer execution time and a response is required, you can either use a BMC AMI OpsA EXEC to issue the IMSPlex command or change the IMSPLTIM parameter of BBPARM member AAOPRMxx to increase the default timeout limit. To issue an IMSPlex command from the Journal, prefix the command with a double slash (//). |
