The COMMAND Option

The COMMAND option enables the operator to issue MVS operator commands, or VM commands if MVS is operating under VM, from non-console terminals.

To issue such a command from any terminal under which Control-O is active, specify S (Select) to the left of the COMMAND option in the Automation Options menu and press Enter. The window shown in Figure 50 is opened.
