Chapter 1. Introducing CA-Roscoe

Before describing how to use CA-Roscoe, let's discuss what CA-Roscoe is. CA-Roscoe is an extremely powerful online program development and maintenance system. It consists of three major components: The Terminal This is where you view data and enter commands that tell CA-Roscoe what task(s) you want to perform. The AWS (Active Work Space) This is the name of a temporary work area that is made available for your text that you enter and edit. While most of the text you will be entering and viewing is less than the width of the terminal screen, the AWS can contain lines that are a maximum of 255 characters in length. While you can actually use multiple AWSs (a minimum of two AWSs are available for your use), we will only discuss how you work with the one that is currently active. CA-Roscoe Library This is a permanent storage area in which you can save the text you have been working on in the AWS. As you read through this manual, you will learn how to enter data in the AWS, save that data as a member in the CA-Roscoe library, retrieve that member and make changes to the data it contains. Based on the material you read, you will be asked to perform certain tasks. The tasks will be presented in the form, Type -> task where 'TYPE' means that you are to perform an action and 'task' identifies the text or CA-Roscoe command that is to be used. To assist you in distinguishing text from commands, the text is shown in uppercase and lowercase. Commands are shown in uppercase and, when appropriate, include any allowed abbreviations. As you are asked to use different CA-Roscoe commands, you will discover that they are easy to use and remember since their names indicate the type of action they perform. With them, you can COPY, DELETE, PRINT and SAVE whatever you have typed. While we will be describing many tasks you can perform with CA-Roscoe, we will not be describing:
Chapter 1. Introducing CA-Roscoe 1-1
Every CA-Roscoe command. For a synopsis of all CA-Roscoe commands, see the Reference Summary. For a detailed description of each command, see the CA-Roscoe Command Reference Guide. Every type of task that can be performed using CA-Roscoe. The chapter "Other Things You Can Do" contains a brief description of the types of tasks that are not described within this manual. This manual is written under the assumption that you have: Used a 3270-type terminal before. If you have not, ask someone at your site to explain the various hardware editing keys (particularly the keys to insert and delete data), the cursor positioning keys, the ENTER key, and the PF keys. A sign-on key. If you do not, ask your site management what sign-on key you should use. Also ask whether or not that sign-on key has a password associated with it. If it does, you will need to know the password. It is also useful if you have a copy of the CA-Roscoe User Guide. That book provides detailed information about the AWS, CA-Roscoe library, OS data sets, job output and general session information. We will be referring you to that book to find additional information about specific topics.

Chapter 2. Signing On and Entering Data

In this chapter, we will be describing: How to sign on to CA-Roscoe, What the CA-Roscoe screen looks like, and How to enter data using both primary commands and line commands.
Chapter 2. Signing On and Entering Data 2-1
2.1 Signing On to CA-Roscoe
2.1 Signing on to CA-Roscoe

The following screen illustrates what the CA-Roscoe sign-on screen looks like. If it is not displayed at the terminal you are using, ask your site management what you need to do to display it. CA-Roscoe Sign-on Screen | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Type your sign-on key in the field named KEY. (The cursor is already positioned there.) If you have a password, move the cursor to the field named PASSWORD and type your password. The fields GROUP CODE and NEW PASSWORD can be used to provide additional sign-on security. We are going to ignore them. Your site management will tell you if these fields need to be used. After typing your sign-on key (and password, if needed) press the ENTER key. The following screen illustrates the next screen that you will see.
2.1 Signing On to CA-Roscoe
CA-Roscoe Screen - With No Data Attached
_ > > ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6. A site-written message may appear in this space.
The cursor is positioned to the first line of the Command Area. By default, the Command Area consists of the first three lines of the screen. (There is a command that you can use to change the number of lines in the Command Area.) This is where you will enter all CA-Roscoe primary commands. The next three lines comprise the System Control Area. CA-Roscoe uses these lines to provide information. The first line (beginning with a >) is the Response Line. It is used to display messages. To illustrate, make sure the cursor is in the Command Area and then, Type -> XXX Press the ENTER key. CA-Roscoe displays the message: CMD 4 COMMAND NOT RECOGNIZED and positions the cursor to the 'command' in error - xxx in this case. You can now correct the command, change it or delete it. (As a matter of fact, please use the ERASE EOF key to delete xxx.) For now, we will ignore the second line beginning with a >. The third line is called the Scale Line. It reflects the margins currently in effect. You can use it to determine the exact position of a character within a 255-character line. The remaining lines of the screen are called the Execution Area. This is where you will enter, edit and display data.
2.2 Entering Data
2.2 Entering Data

Before you enter any data, let's talk about CA-Roscoe commands. CA-Roscoe supports: Primary Commands. These are commands you enter in the Command Area of the screen (for example, the first three lines of the screen). Line Commands. These are commands that you enter in the Execution Area (for example, the lower portion of the screen.) The easiest way to understand these command types is to use them. So, we're going to enter data using first primary commands and then line commands.
2.2.1 Using Primary Commands

To use primary commands, make sure that the cursor is in the Command Area of the screen. You can then use the INPUT command to tell CA-Roscoe that you want to enter data. Type -> INPUT Press the ENTER key. CA-Roscoe 'opens' the Execution Area for data entry and moves the cursor to the first line of this Area. You are now ready to enter data. The data consists of a series of one-line definitions. After typing a definition, use the New Line key to position the cursor to the beginning of the next line. Type -> A: Able. B: Baker. C: Charlie. D: Dog. Press the ENTER key. Before going any further, let's take a look at the screen as illustrated on 2-5 First, look at the definitions you have just typed. Your site management has the option of designating whether the information you enter will be kept in the form you typed it (for example, uppercase and lowercase) or will be converted to uppercase only. Most sites use the default which causes what you type to be converted to uppercase characters. If your site is using the default and you want to prevent this conversion from occurring, Type --> SET MODE XTENDED Press the ENTER key. (Everything you enter from this point on will not be converted to uppercase.) or I
2.2 Entering Data
CA-Roscoe Screen - With AWS Attached
> > AWS() SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 A<ROS1> > ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5... ...... ============================= T O P ================= 1 A: Able. 2 B: Baker. 3 C: Charlie. 4 D: Dog. ...... ========================== B O T T O M ==============
Notice the information appearing on the second line containing an >. This line is called the System Information Line. It tells you: The location and name of the data. In this example, it shows the keyword AWS followed by (). This means that the information you typed has been placed in the AWS. The () means that the information is unnamed. How the display will be scrolled. FULL means that if you press a PF key that is assigned a scrolling function, your display will scroll forward or backward one line less than a full screen of data. You can change the scroll value by positioning the cursor to the SCRL field and typing: number HALF MAX CSR To To To To scroll scroll scroll scroll that number of lines, half the display, to the top or bottom of the AWS, or based on the position of the cursor.
The number of the currently displayed left and right margins. You can change the display margins by: 1. overtyping the column numbers shown in this field, or 2. using the SET DISPLAY command.
2.2 Entering Data
The name of the AWS that is active. While we will only be using one AWS with the exercises in this manual, you have two AWSs available for your use. They are named ROSn (where 'n' is a unique identifier). By site option, you may be able to create and use additional AWSs. Notice also that the Execution Area contains lines marking the top and bottom of the data. Later, when we talk about scrolling data, you will see how these markers are useful as reference points. Right now, there is not much data to scroll. So let's add more data to the AWS. If you want to add information to the end of the AWS, you can again use the INPUT command. When information is already in the AWS and you type INPUT, CA-Roscoe makes the last line in the AWS the first displayed line, 'opens' the Execution Area and positions the cursor to the first line available for data entry. If the cursor is not in the Command Area, move it there and then, Type -> INPUT Press the ENTER key. The resulting display starts with line 400. The cursor is placed at the first data entry line (for example, 500). You are now ready to enter more data. Type -> E: Easy. F: Fox. Press the ENTER key. If you want to add information after a specific line, you can do so by specifying that line number with the INPUT command. For example, to add data after line 500, move the cursor to the Command Area and, Type -> INPUT 5 Press the ENTER key. Type -> T: Z: Tango. Zebra. or I 5 or I
Press the ENTER key. The screen 'closes' and the display begins with line 500. You can use a PF key to scroll the display back to the beginning (for example, line 100). (While it may be different at your site, PF7 is the key normally assigned the scroll backward function.) The following screen illustrates how your screen should appear.
2.2 Entering Data
Notice the sequence numbers to the left of the screen. By default, CA-Roscoe numbers the AWS beginning with 100 and incremented by 100. When you insert data at the end of the AWS, the line number increment of 100 is still used. However, if you insert data between existing lines, CA-Roscoe increments the new lines by ones. This is done to minimize changes to your existing line numbers. After Using INPUT COMMAND

2.2.2 Using Line Commands

You can always enter primary commands in the Command Area of the screen. Sites, however, have the option of designating whether line commands can be used when you first sign on to CA-Roscoe. Most sites do enable this facility. You can tell if it is enabled by looking for six periods in the sequence number field to the left of the TOP and BOTTOM markers (as illustrated in the previous screen). If the periods are not there, you can use the primary command SET DISPLAY to enable this facility. To do so, move the cursor anywhere within the Command Area of the screen and, Type -> SET DISPLAY NUMX Press the ENTER key. Now, suppose you want to add a few more lines to the AWS. One way you can do this is with the I and IB line commands. Unlike primary commands (such as INPUT) which are typed in the Command Area, line commands are typed in the sequence number field of the Execution Area. Position the cursor anywhere within the sequence number field of line 400 and, Type -> I
2.2 Entering Data
Now move the cursor to the sequence number field of line 600 and, Type -> IB5 The following screen shows the I and IB line commands before the ENTER key is pressed. Using I and IB Line Commands
> > AWS() SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 A<ROS1> > ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5... ...... ============================= T O P ================= 1 A: Able. 2 B: Baker. 3 C: Charlie. I 4 D: Dog. 5 E: Easy. 5 1 T: Tango. 5 2 Z: Zebra. IB56 F: Fox. 7 ========================== B O T T O M ==============
Press the ENTER key. With the I line command, a blank line is inserted immediately after the line containing the command. With IB, the blank line is inserted before the line containing the command. To insert more than one line, specify a number with the command. (Notice that IB5 causes five lines to be inserted before line 700.) If you do not type on all of the inserted blank lines, the unused lines are deleted when you press ENTER. On the inserted line following line 400, Type -> X: X-ray.
On the inserted lines preceding line 600, Type -> V: Victor. S: Sierra. Press the ENTER key. Notice that the unused lines have been deleted from the display.

In this chapter, you have learned: How to sign on to CA-Roscoe. The format of the CA-Roscoe screen. That CA-Roscoe supports both primary and line commands. How to use primary and line commands to enter data into the AWS.
You now know that the data you type in the Execution Area of the CA-Roscoe screen is placed in the AWS when you press the ENTER key. The AWS, which is a temporary work area, is the only place where data can be entered and edited. Table 2-1 shows the title of the chapter in the CA-Roscoe User Guide where you can get additional information about the topics discussed in this chapter.

Chapter 3. Saving Data and Signing Off 3-1
3.1 Introducing the CA-Roscoe Library
3.1 Introducing the CA-Roscoe Library

Suppose you have been sitting at your desk writing a memo and you now want to file it for future reference. You might: 1) place the material in a file folder on which you have written a meaningful name and then 2) give the folder to a file clerk who immediately places the folder in a file cabinet. The CA-Roscoe library can be compared to that file cabinet. It is the place where you permanently store the information you have been working on in the AWS. When using CA-Roscoe, you place your information in a 'member' (comparable to the file folder) to which you assign a name. CA-Roscoe then acts as your file clerk placing the member in the library. Just as other people can have folders placed in a file cabinet, so other users can save members in the CA-Roscoe library. To ensure that your members are kept separate from other users' members, CA-Roscoe automatically assigns your 2- or 3-character prefix to whatever member name you specify. (Your site management assigns a unique prefix to each CA-Roscoe sign-on key. When you sign on, CA-Roscoe knows the prefix associated with your key and uses it whenever you create or reference one of your library members.)
3.2 Saving Data
3.2 Saving Data

Now that you have entered information into the AWS, you have the option of saving it in the CA-Roscoe library. To do this, all you need enter is the primary command SAVE and the name you want to assign to the new library member. (This is comparable to writing a name on a file folder before placing the folder in a file cabinet.) The name must be 1- to 8-characters in length and begin with an alphabetic character. To save the data in the AWS as the library member named WORDS, Type -> SAVE WORDS Press the ENTER key. Notice that your library member name now appears in the parentheses following the AWS keyword on the System Information Line. The member name is preceded by your prefix. (In the following screen your prefix is represented as 'pfx'.) Saving Data or S WORDS

Now that you have saved your data, you can sign off CA-Roscoe. To do this, move the cursor to the Command Area and Type -> OFF But suppose you type the OFF command before you save your data. CA-Roscoe checks the contents of the AWS when you sign off. If the AWS contains data, it is automatically saved in a member (associated with your prefix) named SAVAWSnn (where 'nn' is a unique identifier). When you sign back on to CA-Roscoe, you can retrieve this member.

3.4 Review/Summary
In this chapter, you have learned: About the CA-Roscoe library. How to save data in the AWS as a member on the CA-Roscoe library. How to sign off CA-Roscoe. About the special library member named SAVAWSnn.
You now know how to save data that is in the AWS as a member in the CA-Roscoe library. You know that the name to assign to that member will always be unique because CA-Roscoe associates your prefix with the name. You also know that if you forget to save the contents of the AWS before you sign off, CA-Roscoe will save the contents for you. Table 3-1 shows the title of the chapter and/or section in the CA-Roscoe User Guide where you can get additional information about the topics discussed in this chapter.

Chapter 4. Retrieving and Displaying Data

In this chapter, you will learn about: Attaching a library member so that you can look at its contents. Bringing a copy of a library member into the AWS. Detaching and reattaching a library member and the AWS. If you have signed off CA-Roscoe, please sign back on.
Chapter 4. Retrieving and Displaying Data 4-1
4.1 Displaying Data
4.1 Displaying Data

You can use the ATTACH command* to look at the contents of your library member named WORDS. Type -> ATTACH WORDS Press the ENTER key. The following screen illustrates the first few lines of the resulting display. Attached Library Member or A WORDS
_ > > LIB(pfx.WORDS) SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 > <...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5.... ================================= T O P ============== 1 A: Able. 2 B: Baker.
Notice that the System Information Line now begins with the keyword LIB. This means that you are looking at the contents of a member in your library. (As with the keyword AWS, LIB is followed by the prefixed name of your library member.) Note: The chapter 'Updating Data' describes another way that you can view a library member. Try to move the cursor to the Execution Area of the screen. When a library member is attached, you can look at its contents, use PF keys to scroll through the contents, and enter a variety of commands to locate specific occurrences of words within the contents. You cannot modify the contents of the library member You can only modify the contents of the AWS. Therefore, to change a member, you must first bring a copy of it into the AWS.
4.2 Displaying Data to Modify
4.2 Displaying Data to Modify

To change the contents of a library member, you must first bring a copy of it into the AWS. You must then attach the AWS to see its contents. To bring a copy of your library member named WORDS into the AWS, Type -> FETCH WORDS or F WORDS
You do not have to include your prefix when you are FETCHing a copy of one of your own library members. If you do not include a prefix, CA-Roscoe assumes you are referring a library member that you own. Obviously then, when you reference someone else's library member, you must include their prefix (for example, FETCH XYZ.WORDS). Press the ENTER key. Notice that the System Information Line still shows LIB, indicating that your library member is attached, even though you have brought a copy of that member into the AWS. To view the contents of the AWS, you must connect (or attach) the AWS to your terminal. To do this, Type -> ATTACH Press the ENTER key. Now the System Information Line shows that the AWS is attached. The AWS will remain attached until you detach it. or A
4.3 Detaching and Reattaching Data

You can detach the AWS or a library member either explicitly or implicitly. The DETACH command explicitly releases whatever is attached. To use this command, Type -> DETACH Press the ENTER key. Notice that the contents of the AWS is no longer displayed. To reattach the AWS, Type -> ATTACH Press the ENTER key. You can implicitly release attached data by using any other command that causes output to the Execution Area. For example, the AWS is automatically detached when you attach a library member for display. Type -> ATTACH WORDS Press the ENTER key. The library member named WORDS is now attached. (Notice the keyword LIB on the System Information Line.) The data you brought into the AWS is still there. It is not displayed because the AWS is not attached. To reattach the AWS, Type -> ATTACH Press the ENTER key. The resulting display begins with the first line of the AWS. Using Special CA-Roscoe Reserved Characters When attaching or reattaching the AWS or a library member, you can begin the display with a specific line by including that line number with the command. For example, to attach the AWS and begin the display of its contents with line 500, Type -> ATTACH 5 ,, or A 5 ,, or A or A WORDS or A or DET
The double commas have a special meaning to CA-Roscoe; they represent the last line in the AWS or the library member. If you omitted them (for example, if you typed ATTACH 500), only the line numbered 500 would be displayed. Press the ENTER key. Another character that has a special meaning to CA-Roscoe is the asterisk (*). You can use it when reattaching data to have the display begin with the line that had been
the previously displayed first line. To illustrate how this works, first detach the AWS. (You can do this using either the DETACH command or by attaching your library member WORDS.) Now, to reattach the AWS, Type -> ATTACH Press the ENTER key. Notice that the display begins with line 500, the same line that had previously been the first line of the display. ,, or A ,,

Chapter 5. Scrolling Through Data

This chapter describes how you can use: PF keys to scroll through attached data. Primary and line commands to reposition the display of data within the AWS.
Chapter 5. Scrolling Through Data 5-1
5.1 Using PF Keys to Scroll
5.1 Using PF Keys to Scroll

If you are using a terminal with a 24-line screen, you have typed more definitions than can be displayed in a single screen. You can use PF keys to scroll through whatever data is currently attached (for example, the contents of the AWS or a library member). Table 5-1 shows the default scrolling functions that are assigned to PF keys.
Table 5-1. PF Keys Used For Scrolling
KEY PF7 or PF19 PF8 or PF20 PF9 or PF21 PF10 or PF22
ASSIGNMENT Scroll backward (for example, towards the top of the screen). Scrolls forward (for example, towards the bottom of the screen). Scroll the display to the left. Scroll the display to the right.
By default, a list of all PF and PA key assignments is assigned to PA2. If you press this key, a list of assignments will be displayed. Your site management has the option of changing any PF or PA key assignment. If they have done so, they will have updated the information provided by PA2.
5.2 Using Commands to Scroll
5.2 Using Commands to Scroll

You can use a primary command to reposition the display of data you are viewing. Type -> POINT LINE 5 Press the ENTER key. The resulting display will begin with line 500. There are a number of line commands you can use to scroll through the contents of the AWS. You can scroll the display: To begin with a specific line number. Try this. Place the cursor in the sequence number field of line 200 and, Type -> 3 Press the ENTER key. Positionally. Move the cursor to the sequence number field of line 60 and, Type -> Press the ENTER key. You can also position the display to begin a specified number of lines before or after the positionally referenced line. For example, if you typed *+5 on line 500, the next display would begin with the line that is five lines after line 500; *-5 would cause the display to begin with the line that is five lines before line 500. By page (for example, the number of lines in the display). With +P, the display positions forward one page; -P positions the display backward one page. Try this command. Move the cursor to the sequence number field of line 60 and, Type -> -P Press the ENTER key. Since there is less than a full page, the resulting display scrolls back to the beginning of the AWS. If you specify a number with either of these commands, you will scroll that number of pages forward or backward (that is, +P5 scrolls five pages forward). To the top or bottom of the AWS. Use T+ to scroll to the top of the AWS and Bto scroll to the bottom. In the sequence number field of any line, Type -> T+ or B-
Press the ENTER key. By including a number with the command, you can position the display to begin that number of lines after the top (for example, T+5) or before the bottom (that is, B-5).

6.1 Using Multiple Commands
6.1 Using Multiple Commands

If you have signed off, please sign back on. Remember that to use line commands and to have your data kept in the form in which you enter it, the primary commands SET DISPLAY NUMX and SET MODE XTENDED must be in effect. Note: These commands, described in Section 2.2, are just two of the commands that you can use to customize your CA-Roscoe session. Other session-related commands allow you to change the display margins, set tab positions, change the number of lines in the Command Area, etc. You can execute multiple commands either by typing each command on a separate line in the Command Area, as in: SET DISPLAY NUMX SET DISPLAY XTENDED or by typing them on a single line, separated by a command delimiter. The ampersand (&) is the default command delimiter. It tells CA-Roscoe where one command ends and other begins, as in: SET DISPLAY NUMX & SET MODE XTENDED In the chapter on entering data, one of the exercises asked you to enter two line commands on different lines of the same screen. As you may have guessed, you can enter one or more primary and line commands on the same screen. When you do, CA-Roscoe records any changes you made to the data in the Execution Area and then executes first the line commands and then the primary commands.
6.2 Correcting and Changing Commands

If you enter an invalid or incomplete primary command, CA-Roscoe displays a message on the Response Line and positions the cursor to the command in error. Any commands following the invalid or incomplete command are not executed. The following screen illustrates what happens if you attempt to FETCH and ATTACH a library member without specifying its name. Changing Invalid or Incorrect Primary Commands
FETCH ATTACH > CMD13 INSUFFICIENT NUMBER OF OPERANDS SPECIFIED > AWS(pfx.WORDS) SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 > ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5... ...... ============================= T O P ================= 1 2 B: Baker. 3 C: Charlie. 4 D: Dog.
At this point, you can correct the command in error, change it or delete it. You can change, add or delete any commands that follow the corrected command. You can even insert commands ahead of the corrected command. The following screen illustrates what happens if you enter an invalid or incomplete line command.
Changing Incorrect or Invalid Line Commands
> > AWS(pfx.WORDS) SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 > ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5... ...... ============================= T O P ================= 1 2 B: Baker. 3 C: Charlie. XX 4 <<< ATX 1 INVALID COMMAND >>> 4 1 X: X-ray. 5 E: Easy. 5 1 T: Tango. 5 2 Z: Zebra. 6 V: Victor. 6 1 S: Sierra. 6 2 F: Fox.
If you should enter an invalid or incomplete line command, CA- Roscoe displays a message and halts processing. No changes to the data are applied; no line commands are executed; no primary commands are executed. To correct the command in error, you can: 1) overtype it with a valid line command, 2) blank out the sequence number field using the Delete key, the Erase EOF key, or the space bar, or 3) use the RESET line command. You can use the RESET line command to have CA-Roscoe ignore: 1) all of the currently displayed line command (and any pending line commands), and 2) any changes made to the currently displayed data.
6.3 Moving Data Within the AWS

Assume that the definitions you have entered so far are supposed to be in alphabetic order. Several of them are not. CA-Roscoe provides both a primary command and several line commands that you can use to move one or more lines from one location to another within the AWS.
6.3.1 Using a Primary Command

When you move lines within the AWS, you must always designate: The line or lines of data to be moved, and The line at or after which the data is to be inserted. You can specify this destination as a line number or the positional expressions T (meaning before the first line of the AWS) or B (meaning after the last line of the AWS). To move line 502 to the top of the AWS, Type -> MOVE 5 2 T Press the ENTER key. To move multiple lines within the AWS, you must specify the number of the first and last line in the range. For example, to move the definitions from B to D after the definition of T, Type -> MOVE 2 Press the ENTER key. Notice the line numbers. When data is inserted between existing lines, CA-Roscoe increments the inserted lines by ones. 4 5 1 or M 2 4 5 1 or M 5 2 T

You are now going to use line commands to perform the same tasks you did with the MOVE primary command. Please bring a fresh copy of the member WORDS into the AWS. Type -> FETCH WORDS Press the ENTER key. You did not have to use the ATTACH command since the AWS is already attached to your terminal. or F WORDS
As with the primary command, you must designate which lines are to be moved and the line where they are to be inserted. The move line commands require that you use specific destination line commands. Table 6-1 lists some of the destination line commands.
Table 6-1. Destination Line Commands
COMMAND B A BB TT
FUNCTION To insert before the line containing the command. To insert after the line containing the command. To insert after the last line of the AWS. To insert before the first line of the AWS.
To move the line numbered 501 to the top of the AWS, position the cursor to the sequence number field of line 501. Type -> M Now indicate the destination by moving the cursor to the sequence number field of the next line. Type -> TT Press the ENTER key. To move a range of lines, use the MM line commands. Place MM in the sequence number field of the first and last line in the range.
The following screen illustrates how you could move lines 1 and 100 after line 200. Moving Multiple Lines
> > AWS(pfx.WORDS) SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 > ...1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+.... ...... ============================= T O P ================= MM MM 1 A 2 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 6 1 T: A: B: C: D: 1 X: E: 2 Z: V: 1 S: 2 F: Tango. Able. Baker. Charlie. Dog. X-ray. Easy. Zebra. Victor. Sierra. Fox.
Do the move operation illustrated in the previous screen. Move the cursor to the sequence number field of line 1. Type -> MM Now move the cursor to line 100. Type -> MM Finally, move the cursor to line 200. Type -> A Press the ENTER key.
6.4 Copying Data Within the AWS

Move operations are referred to as destructive because data is removed from one place when it is inserted in another. Copy operations are not destructive since the lines being copied are not deleted from their original location.

As when moving data, you must designate what line or lines are to be copied and where the line(s) are to be placed. For example, to copy the last line of the AWS to the top of the AWS, Type -> COPY 6 2 T or C 6 2 T
Notice that you are again using T to indicate that the destination of this operation is the top of the AWS. When specifying a destination, you can use a line number or the positional expressions T (meaning the top of the AWS) or B (meaning the bottom.) Press the ENTER key. To copy multiple lines, you need to include the number of the first and last line to be copied plus the destination of the operation. For example, to copy lines 300 through 500 after line 600, Type -> COPY 3 Press the ENTER key. 5 6 or C 3 5 6

To copy one line, place the C line command in the sequence number field of the line to be copied. Then place a destination line command in the sequence number field of the appropriate line. (The copy and move line commands use the same destination line commands.) For example, to place a copy of line 400 after line 200, move the cursor to line 400 and in the sequence number field, Type -> C Now move the cursor to the sequence number field of line 200 and, Type -> A Press the ENTER key.
There are also line commands that allow you to repeat one or more lines after themselves. For example, suppose you have a second definition for 'D'. You could insert a blank line and then type your new definition. However, if you use the R line command, you can repeat the existing line and then modify it as needed. In the sequence number field of line 400, Type -> R Press the ENTER key. Now, on line 401, overtype the definition 'Dog' with 'Delta'. Press the ENTER key.
6.5 Deleting Data From the AWS

As the result of your copy operations, you now have duplicate lines in the AWS. You can use either primary or line commands to remove these lines.
6.5.1 Using Primary Commands

You can use the DELETE command to remove one or more lines from the AWS. If you specify DELETE with just one line number, only that line will be deleted. To illustrate, move the cursor to the Command Area, Type -> DELETE 4 1 Press the ENTER key. If you specify DELETE with two line numbers, the range of lines beginning with the first number and ending with the second is deleted. (Note: If you specify DELETE with no line numbers, the entire contents of the AWS is deleted.) or DEL 4 1

If you type the D line command in the sequence number field of a line, that line will be removed from the AWS when the ENTER key is pressed. If you type a DD line command in the sequence number field of one line and then another DD line command in the sequence number field of a different line, all of the lines encompassed by the two line commands will be deleted when you press the ENTER key. To illustrate, move the cursor to the sequence number field of line 601, Type -> DD Now move the cursor to the sequence number field of line 602, Type -> DD Press the ENTER key. Lines 601 through 602 have been deleted.
6.6 Renumbering the AWS
6.6 Renumbering the AWS

Notice what has happened to the line numbers while you have been inserting, moving, copying and deleting lines. They are no longer numbered sequentially by 100. To renumber the contents of the AWS, move the cursor to the Command Area, Type -> RENUMBER Press the ENTER key. You can renumber the AWS at any time during your terminal session. As you know, entering RENUMBER with no operands causes the AWS to be renumbered by 100. You can renumber using a different starting value and increment. For example, to have the lines in the AWS number by tens, Type -> RENUMBER 1 Press the ENTER key. 1 or R 1 1 or R
6.7 Locating Specific Words Within the AWS

There are a number of commands you can use to locate and display one or more occurrences of a string of characters within the AWS. We're using the term 'string' instead of 'word' because you can look for one or more words. In fact, you can look for any arrangement of characters, even those including spaces.
6.7.1 Locating All Occurrences

You can use the INCL or EXCL primary or line commands to display all lines including or excluding a specific character string. For example, to use the INCL primary command to display all of the lines that contain the string 'ra', move the cursor to the Command Area, Type -> INCL ra Press the ENTER key. The following screen illustrates what the resulting display will look like: Display Produced by INCL Primary Command
> AWS 7: LINES 1 THRU BOTTOM SEARCH WITH 3 MATCHES > AWS(pfx.WORDS) SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 > ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+. ...... ======================= INCL/EXCL DISPLAY ============== 5 X: X-ray. 8 Z: Zebra. 1 S: Sierra.
Notice that the cursor is positioned to the first occurrence of the string. When using the INCL or EXCL line command, the command is typed in the sequence number field of the first line to be searched. Then, the character string is typed in the data portion of the same line.
Use a PF key assigned a scroll function or the ATTACH command to position the display to begin with the first line in the AWS. Move the cursor to the sequence number field of line 10. Type -> EXCL Now move the cursor to the data portion of the same line. Type -> /ra/ When you type a string in the data portion of a line, you need to tell CA-Roscoe where your string starts and stops. You do this by bounding the string with a special character, called a string 'delimiter'. In our examples, we use the slash (/) to delimit character strings. (After you execute this command, the data that you overtyped is redisplayed.) The following screen illustrates how this line command and its string operand should be entered: Using the EXCL Line Command
> > AWS(pfx.WORDS) SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 > ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5... ...... ============================= T O P ================= EXCL /ra/ 2 B: Baker. 3 C: Charlie. 4 D: Dog. 5 X: X-ray. 6 E: Easy. 7 T: Tango. 8 Z: Zebra. 9 V: Victor. 1 S: Sierra. 11 F: Fox.
Press the ENTER key. You will see that with EXCL every line that does not contain the string is displayed. Also, notice that the format of the resulting display is the same as that produced by the INCL primary command.
Actually, you did not have to enter the string 'ra' since you used that string with the INCL primary command. Once you have specified a string, it is remembered and used with every subsequent INCL and EXCL primary or line command that does not include a string. It is also used with every FIRST, LAST, NEXT and PREV primary and line command that does not include a string.
6.7.2 Locating Specific Occurrences

You can use the FIRST, LAST, NEXT and PREV primary and line commands to locate and display specific occurrences of a character string. For example, let's use a primary command to locate the first occurrence of the string 'ra'. Move the cursor to the Command Area. Type -> FIRST to Press the ENTER key. The resulting display begins with the first line containing 'ra' (for example, line 50). Now, let's use a line command to find the last occurrence of a string. Please position the display to begin with the first line in the AWS. Then move the cursor to the first line in the Execution Area. In the sequence number field, Type -> LAST Now move the cursor to the data portion of the same line. Type -> /er/ The following screen illustrates the placement of the line command and its string.
Using the LAST Line Command
> > AWS(pfx.WORDS) SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 > ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5... ...... ============================= T O P ================= LAST /er/ 2 B: Baker. 3 C: Charlie. 4 D: Dog. 5 X: X-ray. 6 E: Easy. 7 T: Tango. 8 Z: Zebra. 9 V: Victor. 1 S: Sierra. 11 F: Fox.
Press the ENTER key. The resulting display begins with line 100, the line containing the last occurrence of 'er' in the AWS. As their names imply, you can use the NEXT and PREV primary and line commands to find the next occurrence of a string or the previous occurrence of a string. In every instance, the line containing the string is presented as the first displayed line. If you are looking for multiple occurrences of the same string, you need not retype the string each time you use the command. For example, move the cursor to the Command Area. Type -> PREV Press the ENTER key. The previous occurrence of the string 'Female' now begins the display. Once you have specified a string, it is remembered and used in subsequent EXCL, FIRST, INCL, LAST, NEXT and PREV primary and line commands that do not include a string.
One last note about locating a string. When you are using a line command, you must delimit the string. Since you're typing the string in the data portion of the Execution Area, CA-Roscoe needs to know where the string starts and stops. Usually, you do not have to delimit the string you specify with a primary command, as in: FIRST to If, however, the string contains a space or matches an operand of the command, you must delimit the string, as in: FIRST /F: Fox/
6.8 Changing Words Within the AWS

There may be occasions when you will want to modify the words that are in the AWS. For example, if you discover that you have misspelled a word, you can move the cursor to that word and over-type it with the correct spelling. While this is a simple procedure, it could get cumbersome if you decide that you want to change multiple occurrences of the same word or a group of words. CA-Roscoe provides a number of commands that allow you to replace one or more words.

You can use the EDIT command to replace one string of characters with another. For example, move the cursor to the Command Area. Type -> EDIT /er/xx/ Press the ENTER key. You will see that every occurrence of the string 'er' in the AWS has been changed to the string 'xx'. You can include operands with this command to limit its scope of operation to specific columns and/or a specific range of lines. or E /er/xx/

You can use the line commands, E, EE, EB and ET to change one character string to another. Use: E with an optional numeric value to change strings on specific lines; EE (on the first and last line of a range) to change a string on a range of lines; EB to change a string on lines between the line containing the command and the end of the AWS; and ET to change strings on lines between the first line of the AWS through the line containing the command. As with the primary command, you must specify a search string that is followed by a replacement string. Therefore, to change every occurrence of a string from the line on which the command is entered through the end of the AWS, move the cursor to the first displayed line. Type -> EB and then position the cursor to the data portion of the same line. Type -> /xx/er/
The following screen illustrates the placement of this command and its strings. Using the EB Line Command
> > AWS(pfx.WORDS) SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 > ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5... ...... ============================= T O P ================= EB /xx/er/ 2 B: Baker. 3 C: Charlie. 4 D: Dog. 5 X: X-ray.
Press the ENTER key.
6.9 Review/Summary
6.9 Review/Summary
In this chapter, you have learned how to use multiple commands and correct any that may have been entered incorrectly. You have also learned how to use primary and line commands to: Move, copy, delete and renumber lines within the AWS. Locate all or specific strings of characters within the AWS. Replace one character string with another within the AWS. Table 6-2 shows the title of the chapter and/or section in the CA-Roscoe User Guide where you can get additional information about the topics discussed in this chapter.

The CA-Roscoe Command Reference Guide contains a detailed description of the commands described in this chapter. In the next chapter, you will learn how you can update the contents of a library member, change the attributes of the member, rename and even delete the member.
Chapter 7. Updating Data

This chapter describes how you can: Update the contents of an existing library member. Use primary command or the Library Facility to: Obtain library member information. Change the attributes of a library member. Change the name of a library member. Delete a library member.
Chapter 7. Updating Data 7-1
7.1 Updating a Library Member
7.1 Updating a Library Member

Now that you have made changes to the definitions in the AWS, you probably want to modify your library member to reflect those changes. The command that performs this task is UPDATE. UPDATE causes the contents of a library member to be replaced by all or part of the contents of the AWS. Thus, to update your member, Type -> UPDATE WORDS or Type -> UPDATE Press the ENTER key. As has already been noted, the asterisk has a special meaning to CA-Roscoe. In this example, it tells CA-Roscoe to update the last member that you FETCHed, SAVEd or UPDATEd with the contents of the AWS. Since WORDS is the name of the last member you FETCHed, the contents of that member will be updated. or U or U WORDS
7.2 Obtaining Library Member Information

You know the CA-Roscoe library contains your member WORDS, but what other library members are saved under your prefix? At any time during your session, you can use the Library Facility to display a list of your library members. To do this: Type -> LIBRARY Press the ENTER key. The following screen illustrates the next display you will see. Library Facility Menu
> > LIB() SCRL FULL COLS 1 79 ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6. LIBRARY FACILITY FUNCTION PREFIX MEMBER SIGNON KEY FORMAL KEY SEARCH CONFIRM DELETE A C ==> ==> ==> ==> ==> ==> ==> your prefix your signon key your formal key (SHR,RES,EXE,NOD) YES - DELETE MEMBERS - INFO MEMBERS P R X - PRINT MEMBER - RENAME MEMBERS - TERMINATE LIB
- ATTACH LIBRARY D - COPY MEMBERS I
If this is the first time you are using the Library Facility, the menu will contain your CA-Roscoe prefix, sign-on key and formal key. The YES with CONFIRM DELETE means that if you try to delete one of your library members, CA-Roscoe will display the name of that member and ask you to confirm that you want the member deleted.
The codes at the bottom of the previous screen indicate the types of actions you can perform. For example, if you type a library member name in the field MEMBER and an A in the FUNCTION field, you can display the contents of that member. We are going to use the code A, however, to attach a list of your library members. Make sure that no library member name appears in the MEMBER field and then, Type -> A (in FUNCTION field) Press the ENTER key. The following screen illustrates the type of information that is contained in the resulting member Selection List. (As you will see later, in addition to displaying information, you can use a Selection List to perform specific actions.) Library Selection List Description
> > LIB() SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 LINE 1 ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6.. ==================================== T O P =================== SIGNON KEY MEM EXCL BLOCKS M-LINES LINES your-key 3 23 2 34 MEMBER STATUS DESCRIPTION LINES ATR SEQNO XYZ.JUNK XYZ.SAVAWS 1 XYZ.WORDS NROS1 datetime 1 SHR NOSEQ 1 SHR 73,8 23 SHR 73,8
The amount of information provided by this Selection List exceeds the width of 80-column screens. The information is, therefore, divided into alternate displays. You can change the display to view different information. Type -> SELECT ALT Press the ENTER key. Every time you do this, the next sequential display is presented. Eventually, you will return to the original display. The first two lines in the list remain constant as you scroll through the Selection List. They show: SIGNON KEY MEM Your sign-on key. Number of library members included in the Selection List.
EXCL BLOCKS M-LINES LINES
Number of library members that site management caused to be excluded from the display. Number of library blocks used by the members included in the List. Maximum number of lines you may save in the library or N/A if you have no limit. Number of lines contained within all of the members included in the display.
The remaining fields identify the individual members comprising the List and include: MEMBER Name of the library member. (The name begins with your two or three character CA-Roscoe prefix, shown as XYZ in the previous screen.) Description of the member, if available. Number of lines the member contains. Member's access attribute, shown as: SHR RES EXE Allows anyone to look at or execute your member. This is the default. Prevents anyone from looking at or executing your member. (Use with RPF programs.) Allows anyone to execute your member; prevents anyone from looking at your member.
DESCRIPTION LINES ATR
SEQNO
Member's sequence number attribute, shown as: NOSEQ col,l No sequence numbers are to be included when you print this member. Numbers indicating where sequence numbers are to be positioned when the member is printed. The default (shown as 073,8) causes sequence numbers to begin in column 73 and be eight digits long. Date the member was created. Date the member was last updated. Date the member was last accessed.
CREATED UPDATED ACCESS
7.3 Changing Member Attributes

As illustrated in the following screen, your member WORDS does not have a description. Also, the access and sequence number attributes are the defaults assigned by CA-Roscoe. You can specify a description and attributes when you initially save the data (using the SAVE command). You can add or change the information when you update the member (using the UPDATE command). If you only want to change a member's description and/or attributes, you can use the ALTER command. For example, to add a description to your member, Type -> ALTER WORDS /DEFINITIONS/ Press the ENTER key. To verify that the description has been added to the member, Type -> REFRESH As illustrated in the following screen, REFRESH updates the Selection List to include your description of WORDS. Library Selection List Description
> > LIB() SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 LINE 1 ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6.. ==================================== T O P =================== SIGNON KEY MEM EXCL BLOCKS M-LINES LINES SMITH 3 23 2 34 MEMBER STATUS DESCRIPTION LINES ATR SEQNO pfx.JUNK pfx.SAVAWS 1 pfx.WORDS NROS1 datetime DEFINITIONS 1 SHR NOSEQ 1 SHR 73,8 23 SHR 73,8
You can also use this Selection List to change the description and/or attributes of a member.
The following screen illustrates how you can change the sequence number attribute of that member. First type AT (for alter attribute) before the member WORDS. (Its shown as the first shaded area.) Then, tab to the sequence number field and overtype 073,8 with NOSEQ. Changing Member Attributes
> > LIB() SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 LINE 1 ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6.. ==================================== T O P =================== SIGNON KEY MEM EXCL BLOCKS M-LINES LINES SMITH 3 23 2 34 MEMBER STATUS DESCRIPTION LINES ATR SEQNO pfx.JUNK pfx.SAVAWS 1 AT pfx.WORDS NROS1 datetime DEFINITIONS 1 SHR NOSEQ 1 SHR 73,8 23 SHR noseq
Press the ENTER key. To verify that the sequence number has been changed, Type -> REFRESH The resulting display shows that the sequence number attribute has been changed.
7.4 Renaming a Member
7.4 Renaming a Member

Suppose you decide that the name WORDS is not an appropriate name for your library member. You can use the RENAME command to change the member's name. (You can also change the member's description and attributes at the same time.) To change the member's name, Type -> RENAME WORDS name Replace 'name' with any name you want. (Remember that library members names must be 1- to 8-characters in length and start with an alphabetic character.) Press the ENTER key. To verify that you library member has been successfully renamed, Type -> REFRESH Notice that there is no entry for the member named WORDS. There is an entry for the member with the name that you assigned. You can also use the list to rename a member. In the example shown in the following screen, the member named WORDS is renamed SAMPLE. In this case, an R (for rename) is typed before the member name. (In the first shaded area.) Then the new member name is typed in the STATUS field. (The second shaded area.) Renaming a Member
> > LIB() SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 LINE 1 ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6.. ==================================== T O P =================== SIGNON KEY MEM EXCL BLOCKS M-LINES LINES SMITH 3 23 2 34 MEMBER STATUS DESCRIPTION LINES ATR SEQNO pfx.JUNK pfx.SAVAWS 1 pfx.WORDS SAMPLE NROS1 datetime 1 SHR NOSEQ 1 SHR 73,8 23 SHR 73,8
If you try this form of renaming, use the REFRESH command again to verify that your member was successfully renamed.
7.5 Deleting a Member
7.5 Deleting a Member

Suppose you decide that you no longer need a library member. You can use the DELETE command or the Selection List to remove that member from your library. The list shown in the following screen includes a member named JUNK. To remove this member using the command, Type -> DELETE JUNK or DEL JUNK
To remove this member using the Selection List, type a D (for Delete) before the appropriate member name. Deleting a Member
> > LIB() SCRL FULL COLS 1 72 LINE 1 ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6.. ==================================== T O P =================== SIGNON KEY MEM EXCL BLOCKS M-LINES LINES SMITH 3 23 2 34 MEMBER STATUS DESCRIPTION LINES ATR SEQNO D pfx.JUNK pfx.SAVAWS 1 pfx.WORDS NROS1 datetime 1 SHR NOSEQ 1 SHR 73,8 23 SHR 73,8
When you attempt to delete a member, you may be asked to confirm that the member is to be deleted. With the DELETE command, you must enter DELETE a second time. With the D code, you must enter YES or Y.

8.1 Identifying What to Print
8.1 Identifying What to Print

To print the contents of the AWS, Type -> PRINT or P
To print the contents of a library member, include the name of the member with the PRINT command. Type -> PRINT WORDS In addition, you can: Assign a name or 'tag' to your print request. If you use a tag, it must be: 1- to 8-characters, begin with an alphabetic character, bound by apostrophes, and placed immediately after the PRINT command. The following illustrates how you might assign the tag SAMPLE to your print request: Print 'sample' words Print multiple copies of a request. For example, to print three copies of your print request, you might enter: Print 'sample' words copy 3 A confirmation message is displayed on the Response Line when the PRINT command is executed. The message includes the tag (if you specified one), the print request number assigned by CA-Roscoe and the location at which your request is scheduled to print. or P WORDS
8.2 Determining the Print Status
8.2 Determining the Print Status

After your request is scheduled for printing, you can obtain information about it. Type -> PRINT STATUS Press the ENTER key. This command creates a library member for you that contains information about your outstanding print requests. By default, this member is attached to the terminal for display. The member contains a variety of information that: Identifies each request. This includes your prefix, the request number assigned by CA-Roscoe and the tag name, if you specified one. The current status of the request. The number of records to be printed and how many remain to be printed. The name of the location where the request is to be printed. or P STATUS

Chapter 9. Communicating With Others

This chapter describes how to send messages to other users.
Chapter 9. Communicating With Others 9-1
9.1 Sending Messages
9.1 Sending Messages

You can send messages to other CA-Roscoe users if you know their sign-on key or prefix. For example, to send a short message (that is less than 64 characters in length) to the user whose sign-on key is SMITH, you would enter: send key=smith 'meeting at 11: in conference room a'
To send the same message, using the user's prefix, you would enter: send pfx=abc 'meeting at 11: in conference room a'
You must delimit the message with a special character not found in the message itself (for example, an apostrophe (') is used in the preceding example). If you want to send a longer message to a CA-Roscoe user, type the text in either the AWS or a library member. Then when you issue the SEND command, identify the location of the message, as in: send aws key=brown 'report on meeting' In this example, the keyword AWS indicates that the message we want to send is in the AWS. The message with this command is optional. Here it is used to identify the information being sent.
9.2 Receiving Messages
9.2 Receiving Messages

If you are signed on when someone sends you a message and it is a: Short message The message is displayed on the Response Line of your terminal. The message text is preceded by the sender's prefix. Multi-line message The following note is displayed on the Response Line of your terminal: MSG FROM key IN MEMBER Zmddhhmm 'string' where: key Zmddhhmm Sender's sign-on key, Name of the member in your library that contains the message. This unique member name is created by CA-Roscoe and consists of the character Z, the month (in hexadecimal), the day, the hour and the minute the member was created. For example, a member created at 3:25 PM on January 6 is saved as Z1061525. A created at 9:15 AM on October 15 is saved as ZA150915 (where the second character, A, represents the month October in hexadecimal). String Note the user included with the SEND command.
If you are not signed on or sign off before receiving the message, an entry is added to the top of the member ZZZZZMSG in your library. The entries contain: 1. the one-line message and 2. the name of the created library member(s) that contains the multi-line message(s). To view the message, you must ATTACH the member.

Chapter 10. Other Things You Can Do

While this manual is intended to be read by non-programmers, all of the tasks described in it are also applicable to programmers. In fact, CA-Roscoe's primary purpose is to simplify the tasks performed by programmers. This chapter highlights some of these tasks and how CA-Roscoe can be of assistance.
Chapter 10. Other Things You Can Do 10-1
10.1 Submitting and Viewing Jobs
10.1 Submitting and Viewing Jobs

Syntax Checking Data The JCL command invokes the job control language syntax checker. It can be used to check JCL statements in the AWS or a library member. The COBOL syntax checker is invoked by the COB command. It also can check COBOL source code in the AWS or in a specified library member. Submitting Data as a Job Stream You can submit the contents of the AWS and/or one or more library members to the operating system at any time during your terminal session. Checking the Status of Submitted Jobs Once you have submitted a job for execution, you can monitor its progress with the DISPLAY command. DISPLAY allows you to see what the job is doing (awaiting execution, executing, awaiting print, etc.), what its position on the job queue is, what initiators have been assigned to each job class, and how many jobs are in each job class. At some MVS sites, you do not need to use the DISPLAY command to check the status of your jobs. By site option, you may receive JES2 or JES3 messages at your terminal notifying you when your jobs complete execution. Viewing Job Output at the Terminal You can examine the files associated with your job using the ATTACH JOB command. Once a job is attached, there are a number of CA-Roscoe commands that you can use to: Position within the job output. Locate and note data within one or more output files. Display and alter file attributes. Print an attached job output file. Copy an attached job output file into the AWS. Reattach job output at the first file in the job or at a specific location within the job. Detach the job output and, optionally, dispose of the files based on its print, noprint or hold status.
10.2 Performing Data Management Tasks
10.2 Performing Data Management Tasks

CA-Roscoe makes it easy for you to: Browse a data set - be it an OS data set or a CA-Librarian master file. Copy the data set into the AWS where it can be modified and/or saved in the CA-Roscoe library. Print a copy of the data set. Allocate a data set. Write the contents of the AWS and/or one or more library members to a data set. Rename a member, module or data set. Delete a member, module or data set. Catalog or uncatalog a data set. Display a Selection List that contains: A PDS (partitioned data set) directory. A CA-Librarian master file index. The entries in a SAME catalog, ICF catalog or OS CVOL. The VTOC (volume table of contents) of a device. Information about all or selected volumes.
10.3 Learning About RPF
10.3 Learning About RPF

RPF (the ROSCOE Programming Facility) is a structured, interactive programming language that can be used to write programs for many different types of applications. In addition to its own commands, statements, and functions, RPF permits all CA-Roscoe commands to be embedded within the program. When these commands are encountered during program execution, they are executed as if the user had entered them from the terminal. Additional information about RPF is available from: The online, interactive training program TRAINING. This program is written using the RPF language and CA-Roscoe commands To execute this program, move the cursor to the Command Area of the screen. Type -> RPF.TRAINING The CA-Roscoe RPF Language Guide. This manual is divided into two segments. The first segment provides an overview of the language and how you can use the various components of the language to perform specific tasks. The second segment contains a detailed description of the commands and functions comprising the language.

10.4 Executing Application Under ETSO

ETSO (the Extended Time-Sharing Option) lets you execute interactive applications (such as spreadsheets, statistical packages and report generators) under CA-Roscoe. If you will be executing applications via ETSO, your site management will tell you what the applications are and how you should execute them.
10.5 Executing TSO Commands
10.5 Executing TSO Commands

TSO commands can be entered from the CA-Roscoe command line and from within RPF programs. This is an extension to ETSO that allows you to easily switch between the use of TSO facilities and native CA-Roscoe facilities. With this command, you can execute CLISTs as well as REXX execs. These procedures will be executable directly from the command line, from within each other (nesting), and from within ISPF dialogs. Both explicit (EXEC) and implicit (%) invocations are supported. Your site management will tell you if this extension is supported at your site. To execute CLIST and REXX execs, TSO/E 2.1 or above is required.
