Table 59 lists the environments (DB/DC, DBCTL, and DCCTL) from which the command and keywords can be issued.

NODE | X | X | |
PTERM | X | X | |
USER | X | X |
/EXCLUSIVE puts a terminal into exclusive mode. This command, without keywords, is valid from a terminal with a signed on user. The LINE PTERM and NODE keywords are only valid for output-only terminals. For a dynamically created user, the exclusive mode status is remembered across signons.
Exclusive mode restricts the output received by the terminal affected:
Except for an IMS system message responding to an error condition, all other output for a terminal in exclusive mode remains queued for later transmission. The queued output is transmitted after exclusive mode is reset with the /END command or a /START command.
In an IMSplex, if global resource information is kept in Resource Manager, the /EXCLUSIVE command sets a global exclusive status for the resource. If global resource information is not kept in Resource Manager, the /EXCLUSIVE command sets the status.
/END is used to get a terminal out of exclusive mode.
