Functions
F4–PATHCOM Runs PATHCOM, the command interface to the Pathway monitor 
process PATHMON. Use the interface to describe terminals, terminal 
control processes, and servers to the Pathway system. When you exit 
from the interface, the NetBatch-Plus application returns you to the Utility 
Menu screen.
For information on using the PATHCOM command interface, see the 
Pathway/TS System Management Manual.
F5–FUP Runs FUP, the File Utility Program. You can use the program to perform 
many functions involving disk files and devices such as tape drives. For 
example, you can create, display, duplicate, and purge files, alter file 
characteristics, and load data into files. When you exit from the program, 
the NetBatch-Plus application returns you to the Utility Menu screen.
For information on using the FUP program, see the File Utility Program 
(FUP) Reference Manual.
F6–EDIT Runs the text editing program EDIT. The program provides two editors: 
EDIT (a line editor) and EDIT VS (a screen editor). You can use either of 
these editors to write documents and store them on the computer. When 
you exit from the program, the NetBatch-Plus application returns you to 
the Utility Menu screen.
For information on using the EDIT program, see the Edit User’s Guide 
and Reference Manual.
F7–TACL Runs TACL (Tandem Advanced Command Language), the standard 
command interpreter for the Guardian operating system. Use the TACL 
command interpreter to manipulate files, devices, and data, control 
processes, and interact with the system environment and the TACL 
environment. You can also use TACL built-in functions and variables to 
define your own commands and to develop routines.
The NetBatch-Plus application starts a new TACL process on your 
terminal when you select this function. After starting the process, you 
must log on (using a Guardian user ID) before you can begin entering 
commands. To stop the process and return to the Utility Menu screen, 
use the TACL EXIT command while you are still logged on. (You cannot 
return to the Utility Menu screen if you log off.)
For information on using the TACL command interpreter, see the 
Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL) Reference Manual.
F8–TMFCOM Runs TMFCOM, the utility you use to configure and control the 
Transaction Management Facility (TMF). When you exit from the utility, 
the NetBatch-Plus application returns you to the Utility Menu screen.
For information on using the TMFCOM utility, see the TMF Reference 
Manual.
