command

Any valid z/OS, VTAM, or subsystem operator command. When z/OS operates under VM, VM/CP commands can also be entered. An AutoEdit expression can be specified in this field.

WAIT

The number of seconds to wait before Control-O performs the DO COMMAND (0 through 9999). For more information, see "Issuing a Command" in General Information.

CONSOLEID

Console ID where the command should be directed.

CONSOLE

Name (not the ID) of the console where the command should be directed. A name of from 1 through 8 alphanumeric characters can be specified.

SYSTEM

Name of the system where the command should be directed. A name of from 1 through 8 alphanumeric characters can be specified. Mask characters (* and ?) are supported for this subparameter.

Note: By default, the command is issued to the master console of the current system.

• A different system can be specified by the SYSTEM subparameter (or by the %%$COMMSYS reserved user-defined variable in a preceding DO SET statement.)
• A different console can be specified by the CONSOLE or CONSOLEID subparameter.

If both a SYSTEM value and a %%$COMMSYS value are specified, the SYSTEM value is used.

WAITMODE

Whether to execute the rule in command-response mode, which is described in "Command-Response Mode" in General Information.

Valid values are:

• Y (Yes) – Wait for responses to the command.
• N (No) – Do not wait for responses to the command. Default.

The following fields, which are described in detail in General Information, are displayed if WAITMODE is set to Y, and determine when to resume processing (with the next DO statement) after a wait:

WAITRESP

Whether to use the subsystem console mechanism to intercept responses.

Valid values are:

• Y (Yes) – Use the subsystem console mechanism to intercept responses.
• N (No) – Do not use the subsystem console mechanism to intercept responses. Default.

TIMEOUT

Maximum number of seconds to wait for responses.

value1 – Maximum number of seconds to wait for the first response. A value from 0 to 9999 can be specified. Default: 10 seconds.

value2 – Maximum number of seconds to wait after the first response has been intercepted. A value from 0 through 9999 can be specified. Default: 10 seconds.

RESPMSG

Message IDs to be intercepted as responses to the command. Up to five message IDs can be specified.
