About this document

This document supports z/OS (5694A01).

This document describes the syntax and function of the commands andsubcommands of the TSO/E command language and Session Manager. It providesonly reference material and assumes you are experienced in the use of TSO/E andSession Manager.

If you are not familiar with TSO/E, first read z/OS TSO/E User's Guide. If you havelittle or no knowledge of the use of TSO/E commands, z/OS TSO/E User's Guide,provides the prerequisite information for using this document. The guide explainshow to:v Enter and execute commandsv Name and create specific types of data setsv Edit, rename, list, copy, free, and delete data setsv Send and receive data setsv Print data sets on a JES printerv

Run programs in the foreground or backgroundv Use TSO/E through ISPF/PDFv Use Session Manager

Notes:

1. System programming commands are described in z/OS TSO/E SystemProgramming Command Reference.

2. When you see the term JESPLEX in this publication, understand it to meaneither a logical grouping of JES2 systems that share the same multi-accessspool (MAS) or a logical grouping of JES3 systems (each JES3 systemconsisting of one global JES3 system and some number of local JES3systems).

Who should use this documentAnyone who uses TSO/E and Session Manager commands.

How this document is organized

The major chapters in this document are:

v Chapter 1, TSO/E commands and subcommands, on page 1 contains generalinformation needed to use TSO/E commands. It describes the syntax notation indiagrams that accompany each command, positional and keyword operands,delimiters, line continuation, comments, and subcommands.

This document presents commands in alphabetical order. The subcommands are

alphabetized under their commands. For example, all TEST subcommands arealphabetized under the TEST command. Examples are included.

v Chapter 2, Session Manager commands, on page 383 describes the syntax andfunction of each Session Manager command. It presents the commands inalphabetical order and includes examples.

Where to find more information

See z/OS Information Roadmap for an overview of the documentation associatedwith z/OS, including the documentation available for z/OS TSO/E.

Introductory information about how to use TSO/E is described in z/OS TSO/EUser's Guide.

The z/OS Basic Skills Information Center

The z/OS Basic Skills Information Center is a Web-based information resourceintended to help users learn the basic concepts of z/OS, the operating system that

runs most of the IBM mainframe computers in use today. The Information Center isdesigned to introduce a new generation of Information Technology professionals tobasic concepts and help them prepare for a career as a z/OS professional, such asa z/OS system programmer.

Specifically, the z/OS Basic Skills Information Center is intended to achieve thefollowing objectives:

v Provide basic education and information about z/OS without charge

v Shorten the time it takes for people to become productive on the mainframe

v Make it easier for new people to learn z/OS.

To access the z/OS Basic Skills Information Center, open your Web browser to the

How to read syntax diagrams

This section describes how to read syntax diagrams. It defines syntax diagramsymbols, items that may be contained within the diagrams (keywords, variables,delimiters, operators, fragment references, operands) and provides syntax examplesthat contain these items.

Syntax diagrams pictorially display the order and parts (options and arguments) thatcomprise a command statement. They are read from left to right and from top tobottom, following the main path of the horizontal line.

SymbolsThe following symbols may be displayed in syntax diagrams:

Symbol Definition

Indicates the beginning of the syntax diagram.

Indicates that the syntax diagram is continued to the next line.

Indicates that the syntax is continued from the previous line.

Indicates the end of the syntax diagram.

Syntax itemsSyntax diagrams contain many different items. Syntax items include:

v Keywords - a command name or any other literal information.

v Variables - variables are italicized, appear in lowercase, and represent the nameof values you can supply.

v Delimiters - delimiters indicate the start or end of keywords, variables, oroperators. For example, a left parenthesis is a delimiter.

v Operators - operators include add (+), subtract (-), multiply (*), divide (/), equal(=), and other mathematical operations that may need to be performed.

v Fragment references - a part of a syntax diagram, separated from the diagram toshow greater detail.

v Separators - a separator separates keywords, variables or operators. Forexample, a comma (,) is a separator.

Note: If a syntax diagram shows a character that is not alphanumeric (for example,parentheses, periods, commas, equal signs, a blank space), enter the

character as part of the syntax.

Keywords, variables, and operators may be displayed as required, optional, ordefault. Fragments, separators, and delimiters may be displayed as required oroptional.

Item type Definition

Required Required items are displayed on the main path of the horizontalline.

Optional Optional items are displayed below the main path of the horizontalline.

Default Default items are displayed above the main path of the horizontalline.

Syntax examplesThe following table provides syntax examples.

Item Syntax example

Repeatable item.

An arrow returning to the left above the mainpath of the horizontal line indicates an item thatcan be repeated.

A character within the arrow means you mustseparate repeated items with that character.

An arrow returning to the left above a group ofrepeatable items indicates that one of the itemscan be selected,or a single item can berepeated.
