6. Conditions and Resources

You can use CTMAPI to

• add, delete, or query conditions
• add or delete control resources
• add, delete, or change quantitative resource

For these actions, CTMAPI actually calls the IOACND utility. The syntax is the same as the syntax for the IOACND utility, prefixed with the command word COND or RES.

COND {ADD | DELETE | CHECK} COND cond-name ODATE

RES {ADD | DELETE} CONTROL control-name {EXCLUSIVE | SHARE}

RES ADD RESOURCE res-name quantity

RES DELETE RESOURCE res-name

RES CHANGE RESOURCE res-name [-|+]quantity

For more information on the syntax of the IOACND utility and its characteristics, see the IOACND section in the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.

In addition, you can use CTMAPI in batch mode to query quantitative and control resources. For such actions, use the Resource check command:

RES CHECK RESOURCE Res_Name Res_type

Where:

• Res_Name is the name of the quantitative/control resource
• Res_type is the type of resource, one of the following:
  • Q — Quantitative
  • C — Control
  • A — All
