Starting a Session With a Utility
Accessing External Utilities and Applications

If you refer to the utility by its own name, and if the utility is one that does not accept
any commands (for example, DSAP), the utility is started immediately, and responses
appear on your screen. If the utility does accept commands, and you have specified a
utility command, the responses are displayed in the current window of the OCS
screen. However, if the utility does accept commands (for example, FUP) and you
have not specified a utility command, the Command Entry screen appears:
------------------------------- COMMAND ENTRY ---------------------------------
COMMAND :
:
SYSTEM : SYS1 ASYNC ON WRAP OFF CAPTURE 0 LINE 1
UTILITY : FUP SCROLL OFF F4 PRINT MAX CAP 1000 COLUMN 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can then enter your FUP commands through the screen for this session. You can
also access the Command Entry screen through the System Support Services Primary
Menu screen. In either case, you can modify the UTILITY field to identify the utility to
which you want commands to be sent. If you want to route the utility command to a
remote system, you can modify the SYSTEM field to identify the link that connects the
system.
If you want to give a session a name, you can start the session from the Command
Entry screen by entering the OPSYS command, prefixed by a slash (/), in the
COMMAND field, as follows:
/OPSYS SEND FUP1=FUP
(Using the slash means: do not send the command to the utility specified in the
UTILITY field but send it as a NonStop NET/MASTER MS command. You do not
need to use the slash if the UTILITY field is blank.)
Messages appear in the message display area of the Command Entry screen to advise
you of the starting process. Once the session has started, you can use the session name
in the UTILITY field to send commands to the utility.
You can create multiple concurrent sessions. Any sessions you create are valid only in
the environment from which they are created. For example, if you establish a FUP
session named FUP1 in OCS and then switch into the Command Entry facility or even
