This documentation is a guide for computer operators who wish to communicate with and control the Com-plete system. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with operational procedures directly related to the host operating system.
This document covers the following topics:
Com-plete can be started in one of two ways:
By an operator START command (z/OS), or by a POWER R command (z/VSE);
By a batch job stream.
- z/OS
The z/OS START command has the standard START command format illustrated below:
S COMPLETEwhere "COMPLETE" is the name of a procedure which resides on an z/OS procedure library.
- z/VSE
The z/VSE POWER R command has the standard R command format illustrated below:
R RDR,COMPLETERegardless of the procedure chosen to initialize Com-plete, several initialization parameters are available to tailor the execution of Com-plete to the desired environment. The initialization parameters (sysparms) available are defined in a partitioned data set member, for z/OS, or SYSIPT, for z/VSE, which is read before initialization and used during initialization.
Initialization parameters enable specification of such items as TIBTAB name, size of the buffer pools, number of VSAM buffers, etc. For z/OS systems, all parameters may be overridden during Com-plete initialization without having to update the member in the partitioned data set.
The information required to initialize Com-plete, specify or override sysparm data is contained in the Com-plete System Programming documentation.
- z/OS
For z/OS systems, Com-plete may be terminated via the Com-plete termination command EOJ, or with the z/OS STOP (P) command. For example:
F COMPLETE,EOJor
P COMPLETE- z/VSE
For z/VSE systems, Com-plete is terminated with the Com-plete termination command:
nn EOJwhere nn is the partition reply ID.
This command immediately terminates outstanding terminal I/O requests and performs a logical shutdown of the Com-plete system.
The operating system CANCEL command, or POWER FLUSH command for z/VSE, can also be used to terminate Com-plete, but is not recommended because it does not cause a logical shutdown.
Once Com-plete has been initialized, the computer operator can control the various Com-plete facilities and ascertain the status of the Com-plete system by entering one or more of the Com-plete operator commands at the computer operator console.
- z/OS
For z/OS systems, operator commands are entered via the z/OS MODIFY (F) and STOP (P) commands. These z/OS commands are directed toward the job name.
The general format for entering the z/OS MODIFY command is:
F id,command,argument(s)where id is the job or started task name.
- z/VSE
For z/VSE systems, every Com-plete system has an outstanding reply on the console with the following message:
DXROPC0085 - Com-plete READY FOR COMMUNICATIONSThe general format for entering a z/VSE Com-plete operator command is:
nn command,argument(s)where nn is the z/VSE outstanding reply number assigned by the system. The message DXROPC0085 is outstanding until the EOJ operator command is entered, upon which operator communications is halted.
Examples
Examples of entering the "display control TIDs" operator command follow:
F COMPLETE,DC (z/OS, where "COMPLETE" is the job or started task name)nn DC (z/VSE, where "nn" is the REPLID)If arguments are passed to the Com-plete command, the arguments must be either separated by commas, or embedded within single quotation marks. For example:
F id,ADD,25or:
F id,'ADD 25'
