Issuing TSO commands

You can issue TSO commands on the remote system from your workstation.

Before you begin

Before issuing TSO commands, you must be logged on to the z/OS® system.

About this task

To issue a TSO EXEC command, follow these steps:

Procedure

  1. From the Remote System view, expand the remote system and select TSO Commands.
  2. From the pop-up menu, select Launch TSO. The TSO command shell opens. The cursor is located in the Command entry field.
  3. In the Command field, type an EXEC command and press Enter. For example, type exec 'MYUSERID.REXX.SCRIPTS(MYSCRIPT)', where
    • MYUSERID is the high-level qualifier.
    • REXX is the middle-level qualifier.
    • SCRIPTS is the low-level qualifier.
    • MYSCRIPT is a REXX script you have written.
    The command is sent to the server. Control is returned to you while the command processes in the background. The result of the command is displayed.

What to do next

Note: The TSO command shell does not support interactive TSO command submission.
