MPE Commands You can issue MPE commands without leaving SDCDE. Whenever the command prompt (>) is present, you can issue an MPE command by entering a colon (:) followed by the desired command. SDCDE passes the command on to the operating system to be processed. After the command is processed, control returns to the user with the command prompt (>). You can extend an MPE command over multiple lines by attaching the ampersand (&) continuation character to the end of the line. However, unlike other SDCDE multi-line commands, you should not attach the ending period. The MPE commands that you can issue from SDCDE are the ones that are supported by the MPE COMMAND intrinsic. Refer to the MPE/XL Intrinsics Reference Manual (32650-90028) for a list of these commands.
