Testing EXECs with IMFEXEC CNTL NOCMD statements

• IMFEXEC CMD
  • IMFEXEC CICSTRAN
  • IMFEXEC IMSTRAN
  • IMFEXEC SUBMIT
  • IMFEXEC RES EXIT
  • IMFEXEC RES MCMD
  • IMFEXEC RES VMCMD

Refer to Using-the-IMFEXEC-statements for more information about these individual statements.

For example, you might use the IMFEXEC CMD to issue an MVS command, such as activate a VTAM terminal, in an EXEC. You can execute the EXEC and choose not to issue the MVS command by including the IMFEXEC statement

• REXX EXEC example— IMFEXEC CNTL NOCMD
• CLIST example— IMFEXEC CNTL NOCMD

in the EXEC, prior to the IMFEXEC CMD statement.

You can track the results of the EXEC by examining the BBI-SS PAS Journal, which indicates that the MVS command was not executed because of the IMFEXEC CNTL NOCMD statement.

Example

The following is a short example of how you might use IMFEXEC CNTL NOCMD.

REXX EXEC example:

CLIST example:

The MVS command to vary VTAM terminal BB010A will not be executed when this EXEC is scheduled. In the BBI-SS PAS Journal, you will see a message that looks like the following example:
