SYSVIEW CLISTs

– A list of SYSVIEW commands

– The same commands that can be entered on the command line can be used in a CLIST member

– Unicenter® CA-SYSVIEW CLISTs are NOT the same as TSO CLISTs


using CLISTs

– Sample CLIST library provided

– CLIST command ‐ CLIST membername[,dsname]‐ SET CLISTCMDCHAR %SET CLISTCMDCHAR %

– Default CLIST library set by CLSTDSN parm of GSVXGEN

– Can be changed with SET CLISTDSN command‐ SET CLISTDSN USERID.CLIST


using CLISTs

– Commands can be continued by coding a continuation character as the last non-blank character on a line‐ A plus sign “+” indicates leading blanks in the next record are ignored

A minus sign “ ” indicates leading blanks in the next record are not‐ A minus sign - indicates leading blanks in the next record are not ignored


CLIST examples

– This clist will define the RECALL command to a PFKEY

*CLIST PFRECALL,,pfkeyCONTROL FLUSHCONTROL FLUSH SET &1 NONE ALL SET &1 'RECALL' GENERAL SET MESSAGE C'&1 has been defined as a recall function'SET MESSAGE C &1 has been defined as a recall function


CLIST examples

– This CLIST will display the top 10 CPU percentage users in order

* CLIST CPUTOP10 *

ACTIVITY =

SORT CPU% D LINELIMIT 10


CLIST variable commands

– VCHECK – Check variables passed to CLIST

– VDEFine – Define a user variable

– VDEFAULT – Set default CLIST variables

– VDELete – Delete a user variable

– VSET – Set user variable to a valueVSET Set user variable to a value
