FM/CICS primary commands

This chapter describes the syntax and parameters for the primary commands that you can use in various FM/CICS panels.

You enter primary commands on the command line of a panel.

Where the syntax allows you to specify more than one operand, you can use either a blank or a comma as a separator between each operand.

For example, both of the following commands are correct:

SORT DSN TYPE
SORT DSN,TYPE

The primary commands are listed in two categories:

General primary commands: Commands you can issue from anywhere there is a command line. See General primary commands.
Selection list primary commands: Commands that apply to the CICS resource selection lists displayed with option 3.4, or when you specify a generic CICS resource name on a function entry panel. See Selection list primary commands.
