Command Restrictions
Introduction to NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands

Command Restrictions Some restrictions apply to executing NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands in the
following circumstances:
Executing from an NCL procedure
Routing to a remote system
Executing in a background processing environment.
When you execute a NonStop NET/MASTER MS command from an NCL procedure,
you must precede it by either the CMD core statement or the INTCMD verb. NCL
interprets the text following these two keywords as a NonStop NET/MASTER MS
command.
You can execute most NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands from an NCL
procedure using either the CMD core statement or the INTCMD verb. However, some
commands cannot be executed from an NCL procedure using the CMD core
statement; others cannot be executed using the INTCMD verb; and a few cannot be
executed from an NCL procedure at all.
You can route most NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands to a remote system using
the ROUTE command, followed by the link-name and a command string. However,
the PROFILE and SYSPARMS commands cannot be routed to a remote system with all
operands, and some NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands cannot be routed to a
remote system at all (see the ROUTE command for more information).
You can execute most NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands in a background
processing environment using the SUBMIT command, followed by the name of the
background environment and a command string. However, the PROFILE and
SYSPARMS commands cannot be executed in a background processing environment
with all operands, and some NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands cannot be
executed in a background processing environment at all.
Table 1-4 summarizes NonStop NET/MASTER MS command-entry restrictions from
NCL procedures, to a remote system, and to a background processing environment.
The CMD column indicates whether you can execute a command using the CMD
statement. The INTCMD column indicates whether you can execute a command using
the INTCMD verb. The INIT column indicates whether you can execute a command
from the INIT NCL procedure. (The INIT NCL procedure is the first NCL procedure
executed by NonStop NET/MASTER MS. It is executed during NonStop
NET/MASTER MS startup, before users are allowed to log on to NonStop
NET/MASTER MS.) The Rem column indicates whether you can route the command
to a remote system. The Backgd column indicates whether you can execute the
command in a background processing environment.
