Using the system utilities

This section discusses the system utilities, which can assist you in:

  • simulating an operator console
  • monitoring and analyzing common storage usage
  • performing a wide range of system programmer tasks, such as viewing and modifying various z/OS internal structures and lists

All system utilities are available for both local and remote systems.

When you are in an SSI context, you must issue the SCOPE command to indicate the particular system that you want before using a utility. For example, if your SSI context is defined as SYSB, SYSC, and SYSD, and you want to access CSMON on SYSC, you must issue the command SCOPE SYSC before using CSMON.
