Issuing NonStop

NET/MASTER MS

Commands

There are several ways you can issue NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands:

Manually enter the command(s) at a command input line and press the ENTER

key. The following NonStop NET/MASTER MS facilities have command input

lines:

OCS

Command Entry facility

Activity Log Browse facility

Press a function key that has a command (or series of commands) assigned to it (in

the OCS window only).

Execute an NCL procedure that contains NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands.

Manually Entering NonStop

NET/MASTER MS

Commands

Enter commands in any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.

Use at least one space to separate a command from its operand(s) and to separate

multiple operands. NonStop NET/MASTER MS compresses multiple spaces to single

space when spaces are used to separate operands.

When spaces are part of a message text, as in

MSG ALL Shutdown in 10 minutes. LOG OFF IMMEDIATELY

NonStop NET/MASTER MS preserves the number of spaces you enter.

Caution Do not include spaces around the equal sign (=) in commands when assigning a value to an operand.

The following are examples of correctly using the equal sign:

SHOW FILEINFO=$DATA2.MYSUBVOL.*

PROFILE CMDSTACK=5 CMDKEEP=YES

AT 21:30 ROUTE=MON CMD=SHOW LINKS

Abbreviating Commands

You can abbreviate any command to the least number of characters needed to

distinguish it from all other commands.

For example, to display information about your OCS operator profile, enter PROFILE

or PROF. However, abbreviating the PROFILE command to PRO would result in an

error because NonStop NET/MASTER MS would not be able to distinguish it from the

PROGRUN command.

Concatenating Commands

If your OCS profile has been configured so that NonStop NET/MASTER MS

recognizes the semicolon (;) as a command separator, you can enter multiple

commands on the same command line by separating each command with a semicolon.

(Refer to the PROFILE CMDSEP=YES description in the NonStop NET/MASTER MS

Command Reference Manual.) Commands are initiated in the order you enter them, but
