z/VM: CP Commands and Utilities Reference - z/VM - IBM

Chapter 2. CP Commands
This section contains format descriptions for all of the z/VM CP commands. These
command formats are listed in alphabetic order except for the * and #CP
commands, which appear first.
Each of the command formats is presented in the following order:
v Command name: identifies the name of the command. This appears on the top
of the page for easy reference.
v Syntax diagram: displays syntax and operands of the command. The parameter
list following the syntax diagram describes the function of the operands and
identifies values that you can include with them.
v Privilege class: identifies the users able to enter the command, unless user class
restructure (UCR) is in use.
v Description of function: explains how to use the command.
v Usage Notes: identify and describe special situations and other considerations
that may affect your use of the command.
v Responses: describe CP command responses that you may receive on your
display device. Responses are normal operation output; they tell you about the
execution and effect of the command. Unlike system messages, command
responses are not prefixed with an identifying number and are not contained in
the z/VM: System Messages and Codes - CP.
v Messages: list the number and text of CP command messages that you may
receive on your display device.
The act of issuing a message to the console may itself cause other messages to
be generated. The following messages can be generated when a message is
written to the console.

HCP410E

Messages that are not unique to the command may not be issued. Refer to the
z/VM: System Messages and Codes - CP for more complete information about
these messages, including suggested action.
