To enter a CICS® command from a console device, use:
{MODIFY|F} cicsid,[']command[']
where:
For example:
MODIFY DFHIVPOL,'CEMT INQUIRE TASK'
If a transaction started at a console device requires further input, you are prompted in the same way as a terminal operator. For more information about continuing transaction input, see Replying to messages from transactions started at console devices.
A TSO user can enter CICS commands as above after invoking the TSO command CONSOLE, in either of the following formats:
CONSOLE SYSCMD ({MODIFY|F} cicsid,[']command['])
CONSOLE
{MODIFY|F} cicsid,[']command[']
END
When the TSO command CONSOLE is used, TSO checks the user for authority to issue console commands. Further, if console operator command security is active, the TSO user must be specifically authorized to issue MODIFY cicsid.
