"'ECOMMAND ECOMMAND is a c'MS problem program which runs in the CMS SUBSET and.
uses the EDGAR SVC ECOMMAND takes its input either in the form
of entry parameters entered on the same line, or from the console. If the .
input is entered as parameters and the user wishes to avoid the tokenizing
normally done by CMS, he may "wrap" the data, which he wishes to remain
contiguous, with parentheses and enter it in the normal eight (8) byte group­
ings. For example
. ECOMMAND L (/tJABC/) ECOMMAND will pass its input to the EDGAR editing command processor
which will treat it as an edit command to be executed against the currently
active edit level file. The result of the edit command processing will be
returned to the user in the form of a return code and, possibly, a message line
placed LIFO in the CMS console stack. The user may inhibit the placement of
the message line in the CMS console stack by executing ECOMMAND while
& CONTROL is set to NOMSG. The possible return codes which can be
returned from ECOMMAND are:
o -indicating the command executed successfully
-1 -indicating the command executed successfully and produced a
message which would normally be placed on the command line of
the screen and has been placed LIFO in the CMS console stack.
1 indicating that, EDGAR is not active
xxx -a message number corresponding to an EDGAR error message
indicating the unsucessful execution of a command. The error
message is also placed LIFO in the eMS console stack if the com­
mand was called via SVC. Advanced Editing Facilities 48
