TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS 8.1.0

# Using the ISPF Command Shell

You can execute the Platform Server REXX execs directly on an ISPF command line of the ISPF Command Shell panel.

To run the REXX execs, enter the command on a command line on the ISPF Command Shell panel and press Enter.

Note: To open the ISPF Command Shell panel, select option `6` on the ISPF Primary Option menu.

## Examples

The following two examples show how to run the REXX execs on an ISPF command line:

Example 1:

    FUSSEL TRN=IA19500038

This command displays the last message of the specified transaction ID.

Example 2:

    FUSSEND IPADDR=192.192.192.100 IPPORT=46464 LF=local.file RF=remote.file INTERVAL=3 SAY CFG=fusion wait

This command sends a local file (LF) to a remote file (RF) using TCP/IP.

## Advantage and Disadvantages

The advantage and disadvantages of using the ISPF Command Shell are as follows:

- Advantage
  - You can run the REXX execs by simply entering the command on a command line.
- Disadvantages
  - You cannot use this method in an unattended production environment.
  - You cannot fully use the functionality of the REXX language, because only ISPF commands can be executed from the command line.

    If you must execute a REXX exec with TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS REXX commands imbedded, you must create a member in the Platform Server EXECS library that contains the REXX exec, and then execute that exec from the command line.
