The IOA standard KeyStroke Language (KSL) is a general purpose language that simulates, in batch, keystrokes that are entered in the IOA Online facility. KSL language statements (commands) are specified in programs called scripts.
The most common use of KSL scripts is to generate reports from the IOA Core and INCONTROL product repositories. Utilities are also frequently written in KSL scripts.
Once you are familiar with KSL, you can write your own scripts to create reports and utilities. Once a KSL script is defined it can be reused.
Note: Many of the functions performed using KSL can now be performed more easily and efficiently using CTMAPI and IOAAPI. For more information on CTMAPI refer to the Control-M for z/OS User Guide. For more information on IOAAPI refer to the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide. BMC recommends that you use CTMAPI and IOAAPI instead to KSL whenever possible.
