This section describes the Object Handler direct commands provided for executing Object Handler functions and Workplans of the type PROCEDURE. It also describes the commands used for migrating from the old utility SYSTRANS to the Object Handler.

For explanations of the variable values contained in the syntax diagrams shown in this section, refer to the relevant sections in the Object Handler documentation. For explanations of the symbols used in the syntax diagrams, see System Command Syntax in the System Commands documentation.
