Chapter 4, “MVS System Commands Reference” on page 4-1, summarizes the function, syntax, and parameters of all the MVS/ESA system commands that you can use to control both the system and the MCS consoles.

If you have DFSMS/MVS installed, and you have SMS active, you can place some system data sets (in PDSEs) on SMS-managed volumes: v SYS1.CSSLIB v SYS1.LINKLIB v SYS1.MIGLIB In addition, data sets in the LNKLST concatenation can also be PDSEs.

Your operating system consists of an MVS/SP base control program (BCP) with a job entry subsystem (JES2 or JES3) and DFSMS/MVS DFSMSdfp installed with it. For the operating system to process a program, programmers must perform certain job control tasks.

Refer to the MVS library for more information about the MVS WTO macro. In Table 1, the WTO command uses the values of the REXX functions or NetView command list language control variables as input.
