In my previous post I shared a way to execute operator command from a batch job using Rexx and SDSF. That is of course a bit cumbersome if you just want to fire off a fixed operator command.

Therefore here the simplest way to execute an operator command:

//...jobcard                     
//EXECCMD EXEC PGM=IEFBR14                        
// COMMAND 'D A,L'
