Initiation

Execute the PROPROLL EXEC in the Logical Operator (such as LOGLOPER) virtual machine.

Operational Commands and Program Function Key settings

OPERATION: Start: execute PROPROLL

Stop: PF3 (request) followed by PF2 (confirmation)
(or just HX)

Clear Screen key will cause the product to erase then rewrite the current screen.

Reset key will cause the keyboard to become uninhibited.

Command Line: Lower left-hand corner. Depressing the ENTER key will
always cause the cursor to return to this home position.

Function Transition Commands

PF3 Exits the facility.

PF6 Retrieves prior command(s) entered.

PF7 Places facility into BACKWARD scroll mode.
Subsequent PF7 will scroll back one screen.

PF8 Places facility into FORWARD scroll mode.
Subsequent PF8 will scroll forward one screen.

PF12 Returns the screen mode from scrolling to Normal roll mode.

PA1 This will cause a CP READ to occur.

Command Execution

(no prefix) Command is attempted to be executed in the Logical Operator.

OP Command is directed to the user named OPERATOR.

CMS Command is passed to CMS in this machine, the Logical Operator.

REXX A REXX script that is accessible by this userid (Logical Operator) is executed.

Limitations and Restrictions

No command of any type must cause a WAIT or post a READ to the console. No logic yet to handle.

The log may contain 12000 lines prior to saturation.

CMS commands should be of the QUERY type only. Return solicited information.

CP commands may be QUERY or SET.

OP commands at forwarded to the Programmable Operator where they will execute in the OPERATOR address space.

Responses to OP commands are limited by the constraints of IUCV messaging and the Programmable Operator.

REXX exec scripts can be invoked with up to 5 arguments.

Scripts and Execs must terminate in short order; no long running processes.

The user should guard against commands that will cause the facility to abnormally terminate or
logoff the virtual machine or recycle the facility.

Responses to queries are limited to a line length of 80 characters.

Warning: Do not make the OPERATOR the Secondary Console Image Facility (SCIF) to the Logical Operator.
