START Command

The START command initiates the operation of an object. The successful completion

of the START command leaves the object in the STARTED summary state. This is a

sensitive command.

Considerations for the START Command

•

For a given LINE object, no SU object can enter the STARTED summary state until

the LINE object has entered the STARTED summary state. Therefore, if the SUB

ALL option is specified, the LINE object is started before any SU object.

•

The SEL option is not supported.

•

If the SCF START command completes processing with no error, the subsystem

was able to initiate processing for the start operation. However, the absence of any

error does not necessarily indicate that the start operation completed successfully.

Command Syntax for the START Command

The START command has the following syntax:

OUT file-spec

causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified

file.

LINE line-name | SU su-name

designates the line or subdevice to be started. If you omit line-name or

su-name, the assumed object is started.

SUB [ ONLY | ALL | NONE ]

directs the command at a set of subordinate objects.

ONLY specifies that only the subordinate objects are affected.

ALL specifies that the named object and the subordinate objects are affected.

NONE specifies that no subordinate objects are affected.

If you omit subtype, ALL is assumed.

START [ / OUT file-spec / ] [ LINE line-name | SU su-name ]

[ , SUB [ ONLY | ALL | NONE ] ]
