You must add a pound sign (#) prefix an MVS command to prevent the BBI-SS PAS from interpreting the MVS command as a BBI command; for example:

IMFEXEC CMD #V

To issue an MVS command that already uses a pound sign prefix, you must use 2 pound signs in the command text in IMFEXEC CMD; for example

IMFEXEC CMD ##DT1B DIS THREAD

Example 2

MainView AutoOPERATOR issues the MVS command S TESTMPP to start a test message processing region.

The local variables IMFRC, IMFCSTKN, and IMFCASID should be inspected only if the command issued was an MVS START command.

If IMFRC is zero, IMFCASID contains the address space identification (ASID) number of the initiated address space, and IMFCSTKN contains the STOKEN of the started address space.

/*REXX*/
'IMFEXEC CMD #S TESTMPP'

CLIST example:

IMFEXEC CMD #S TESTMPP
