Gateway Commands to Control the Started Tasks

Commands for TSIRECRD and TSISPACE



DSNAME(dsname), which can be specified as DATASET(dsname), where dsname is the one to forty-four character 
name of an existing data set.

Members of a PDS are not supported. Typically the 

DDNAME parameter would be used to reference a ddname in the 

TSIRECRD started tasks JCL and the DSNAME parameter would be used to reference a dataset that is to be dynamically 
allocated when the command is issued. Although this command can be issued at any time via the 

 or 

 console command, this command is always executed internally at 

TSIRECRD initialization time with an operand of 

DDNAME(SMFINPUT).

If the ddname does not exist, no message is issued and no data is processed for this command. If the dsname can not 
be dynamically allocated, messages are issued and processing continues. In 

SYSPLEX mode, this command is routed to 

the primary system for execution, regardless of where the command was issued.

STACK command

The STACK, alias BATCH, command causes a previously defined set of commands to be issued to TSIRECRD from a 
dataset. For example, to execute a set of commands defined in member TSIPURGE in the PARMLIB file, issue: 

FTSIRECRD,STACK,DSNAME(hlq.sfwb.parmlib),MEMBER(TSIPURGE)

The parameters are as follows:



DDNAME(ddname) parameter, which can also be specified as FILE(ddname), where ddname is the one to eight 
character ddname. Typically the 

DDNAME parameter would be used to reference a ddname in the TSIRECRD started 

task 

JCL.



DSNAME(dsname) parameter, which can be specified as DATASET(dsname), where dsname is the one to forty-four 
character name of an existing dataset, a member of a partitioned dataset may be specified by adding the member 
name in parentheses following the dsname. The 

DSNAME parameter would be used to reference a dataset that is to 

be dynamically allocated when the command is issued. The referenced dataset is dynamically unallocated after the 
data is processed.



If the dsname can not be dynamically allocated, messages are issued and processing continues. The default dataset 
name is the name of the partitioned dataset allocated to ddname 

SYSTSIN at TSIRECRD initialization.



MEMBER(member) parameter, where member is the one to eight character name of an existing member of an existing 
partitioned dataset.

STOP command

The 

STOP command is used to shutdown TSISPACE or TSIRECRD. Any of the following console commands can be used 

to shutdown 

TSISPACE or TSIRECRD started tasks. Please note that TSIRECRD must be stopped before TSISPACE is 

stopped.

MODIFY TSIRECRD,STOP\ (F TSIRECRD,STOP)

MODIFY TSISPACE,STOP (F TSISPACE,STOP)

STOP TSIRECRD (P TSIRECRD)

STOP TSISPACE (P TSISPACE)

SUBMIT command

The 

SUBMIT, alias SUB, command submits a batch job in a dataset or member of a partitioned dataset from the TSIRECRD 

address space to the system. For example, to submit a batch job in the cntl file called “sfbldmst”, issue: 

F TSIRECRD,SUBMIT,DSNAME(hlq.sfwb.cntl),MEMBER(sfbldmst)

The parameters are as follows:
