CMD

Description

Defines a IBM Session Manager command to be executed when the PF key is pressed, or the session id is selected either by number or by synonym. Valid commands are described in 'Commands' in the Technical Reference manual.

This parameter is applicable to the PROFILE control statement (see PROFILE statement).

Format

CMD command

Usage

The maximum length for the executed command is 80 bytes and substitution variables may be used in the command string.

The chapter 'Session Manager variables' in the Panels, Scripts and Variables manual lists the valid variables, and the section 'Variable substitution in control statements' of the chapter 'System definition' in the Technical Reference manual gives the rules that apply. If the string contains any IBM Session Manager keywords, or embedded spaces, the complete string should be enclosed in quotes.

When the CMD parameter is used, all other parameters, apart from DESC, are ignored for the session.

By specifying a value of CMD 'ISZSM profile' (where profile is the name of a PROFILE statement which contains SESSION or KEY definitions), you can indicate that the session is a submenu placeholder. For more information, see the description of IBM Session Manager submenus in the User and Administration manual.
