Modifying IOA Online Facility Commands

Every screen of the IOA Online facility supports a set of commands. It is possible to change the names of these commands or to create synonyms. The commands reside in the IOAENV library in members with the following naming convention:

TxxxCMD1
Active commands member.

where xxx is the screen identifier.

When changing the names of these commands or to create synonyms, make sure to make the changes in a member in the PARM library, and not in a member in the IOAENV library.

IOA Online Options Cross-reference contains a list of all options, screens and their corresponding command members.

A command member is composed of one header line and any number of command lines. The number at the left of the header line is the total number of command lines in the member. It must be updated when lines are added to or deleted from the command member.

The structure of the command line is:

Table 19 Command Line Structure

Columns

Description

1–8

Command name.

25–28

Reserved hexadecimal (unprintable) value. Do not modify.

29–68

Description of the command.

69–72

Reserved hexadecimal (unprintable) value representing the internal command number. Do not modify.

It is possible to change the command name and/or description by typing in the change. To add a synonym (a command that is to have the same effect as an existing command), duplicate the command line, modify the command name on the duplicated line, and add one to the command line counter at the left side of the header line. To delete a command, delete the command line in the member and decrease the counter by one.
