There is not a central repository. Each product does it in its own way. For example, JES2 defines it in the JES2PARM member, CA-OPS/MVS II defines it in a startup REXX program which sets a variable, the RACF subsystem does it in the IEFSSNxx member which defines the subsystem. Note that not every product which has a "command characters" uses the z/OS API to register it. D OPDATA only gives those products which use the API. Some actually trap the console SSI and do their thing. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
