Purpose: The TSO command will attach the TMP and execute the command, or Clist, passed in the parameter field.
CAUTION:
Since this command may have the ability to bypass your security system, it can be disabled via the TSO=NO operand found in the DIF PARM field.

Command authorization is based on the security level of DIF. Please ensure that DIF has read access to the libraries allocated in the DIF execution JCL, but not enough authority for the TSO command to be used to modify security information.

Note: The TSO command is not related to the DIFTSO command. The DIF TSO command interface can be enabled with the DIFTSO parameter in the DIF execution JCL. This parameter assigns a TSO command name to the interface. The TSO command processor can then be used to enter DIF commands. The output from the commands is returned to the TSO user. For more information, examine “DIF Commands from the DIF TSO Command Interface” on page 5-7.
Syntax:
TSO {tso_command} [parms]

Comments: The TSO command requires the use of the loader’s SYSTSPRT and SYSTSIN DD statements. If the tso_command is a CLIST, the SYSPROC DD statement will also be required. Also, a Clist name can be prefixed with a percent sign (%). This informs the TMP that no search of LPA or the Linklist is required.

Examples: You may want to dynamically allocate the LPALIB DD statement used by DIF, start the products, and then free SYS1.LPALIB. The following control statements could be added to the parmlib member used by DIF start processing: usually START00.

Note: If TSO=NO was specified in the DIF PARM field, DIF will not honor the TSO command.

TSO ALLOC FI(LPALIB) DA('SYS1.LPALIB') SHR START ACC
ENABLE OPTION ACCVSAM STATUS
TSO FREE FI(LPALIB)
    

If you want to issue the TSO LISTDS command to list information about a data set, use the following command:


F DIF,TSO LISTDS DA('dataset.name')
