4.2.3.13 Using Command Procedures (CLISTs)

 






   An easy way to execute a series of Session Manager or TSO/E commands is by 
   using command procedures (CLISTs). A CLIST is an executable sequence of 
   TSO/E and/or Session Manager commands, subcommands, or command procedure 
   statements.  You can use any TSO/E or Session Manager command in CLISTs. 
   The same rules for entering Session Manager commands at your terminal 
   apply when using a CLIST.  (See "Entering Session Manager Commands" in 
   topic 4.2.2.7.) 



   This section describes several examples of CLISTs and how they can be used 
   to modify the default environment. The CLIST in the first example 
   redefines a program function (PF) key using Session Manager commands. The 
   remaining examples show CLISTs that split your display screen horizontally 
   and vertically. The split screen CLISTs are located in SYS1.ADFMAC1 so you 
   do not have to type them in at your terminal. For a complete description 
   of how to create, edit, invoke, and execute a CLIST, refer to OS/390 TSO/E 
   CLISTs. 



   Note:  When you issue a WRITENR in a CLIST, the cursor is no longer 
          positioned at the end of the text written to the screen. Instead, 
          the cursor returns to the permanent cursor position to allow you to 
          enter data.
