KeyStroke Languages

KeyStroke languages are languages that can be used to simulate, in batch, the keystrokes of the user. The types of KeyStroke languages that can be used with Control-O are shown below.

KeyStroke Language

Description

KSL

A general purpose language which simulates, in batch, keystrokes entered in the IOA Online facility. KSL language statements are specified in "programs" called scripts. KSL scripts can be used to automate routine tasks, and to generate reports based on IOA and product-specific repository files.

KOA

An extension of KSL. KOA (Keystroke Open Access) includes all KSL commands and functions as well as additional commands used for interfacing with VTAM applications. With KOA, the user can automate 2-way communication with any VTAM application, such as performance monitors or NetView.

For more information on KeyStroke Language, refer to the KeyStroke Language (KSL) User Guide.
