programs that are also available.
Commands and Programs
The commands and functions listed in Table 8-1 are available to all users.
Note. All examples in this section are based on the assumptions that the built-in variable
#INFORMAT has been set to TACL, which enables recognition and processing of the
TACL special characters; that the built-in variable #PMSEARCHLIST has been set to
include $SYSTEM.SYSTEM, and the keyword #DEFAULTS, which enables the use of
implied RUN commands; and that the required TACL library files have been loaded into
memory.
