This section provides instructions for invoking the SYSTP utility and executing a SYSTP utility function. You can execute a SYSTP utility function by using either a SYSTP utility menu or a SYSTP direct command.

To invoke SYSTP and execute a menu function

1. At any command prompt, enter the following system command:

   SYSTP

   The Main Menu of the SYSTP utility appears.

2. Execute a SYSTP function by entering the character code that corresponds to the function required in the Code field and pressing ENTER.

   If you enter E, the menu for environment-dependent TP-monitor functions appears. This function is not available under Com-plete and TSO.

To issue a SYSTP direct command

• At any command prompt or in batch mode, use the SYSTP command followed by the function code that corresponds to the SYSTP menu function required. You can enter multiple function codes in the sequence in which they are executed from a menu. If you enter multiple function codes, separate them by periods (.).

  For example:

  SYSTP  M.A

  Opens the Natural Monitor Menu (function code M in the SYSTP Main Menu) and activates the Natural monitor (function code A in Natural Monitor Menu).

• A subsystem can already be selected at the start by specifying the R option followed by the subsystem ID. This places the line with the requested subsystem at the top of the screen. For example SYSTP R.NAT9.

• To select the current subsystem, specify SYSTP R.*.

• If you want to switch to another subsystem, specify - in front of the line. You can then select any subsystem.
