DirMaint Command Summary

Last Updated: 2001-05-29     (Subscribe to updates)

This table provides a summary of the DirMaint commands, the prefix keywords that are honored for each command (keywords not honored are accepted but ignored), whether the command may be used in a BATCH file or via DVHSAPI, whether or not password verification is required by default, and the default command sets to which the command is assigned for command levels 150A and 140A.

There are two files, 140CMDS DATADVH and 150CMDS DATADVH, that define which commands belong to what command set(s), and whether or not password verification is required for that command in that command set. The command set definitions can be changed by your installation by editing these files and following the procedures documented in the files themselves. The table shows the IBM supplied command set definitions, as they would be after initial installation and before any tailoring is done.

The IBM default command sets for DirMaint are:

  • A: Administrator commands.
  • D: DASD management commands.
  • G: General user commands.
  • H: "Help-desk" commands.
  • M: Monitoring and auditing commands.
  • O: Operational control commands.
  • P: Programed application commands (DFSMS, etc.).
  • S: Support programmer commands.
  • Z: Internal system commands, not for user invocation.
  • .: Placeholder for column alignment.

Additional command sets may be defined; but there is a maximum of 36 command sets per command.

The legends for the prefix keywords and password requirement are located at the end of the table.
