This appears to be a SFS admin command. The Command vs CMS is usually in
regards to 'address'ing an environment. Addressing Command will issue
the command in CMS without translation. Ex.
In vanilla CMS if you have a file such as
JOEUSER Ofslogfl A
In an exec you could issue:
'RENAME JOEUSER Ofslogfl A JOEUSER OFSLOGFL A' this defaults to CMS
and will fail because the lower case chars will be translated to upper
and the input file will not be found.
If you code:
Address COMMAND 'RENAME JOEUSER Ofslogfl A JOEUSER OFSLOGFL A' it
will succeed because address command passes the exact phrase without
trans.
Hope that helps,

The COMMAND stage bypasses the normal search order and won't find EXECs.
