+Console commands
+================
+
+
+**Managing the 3270 console**
+k a,ref shows areas on operator console
+k a,none – removes “out of line area” from console.  You may need to do k e,d to remove the area first
+k a,14 makes the area 14 lines deep
+k a,6,6 makes two areas A and B, can then use D A,L,L=B for to display the command  D A,L in window B
+Some commands,  eg display commands comes up in a “out of line” frame at bottom of the screen
+
+k d,f scroll forward, sometimes pf8 does this. Check with d pfk
+k e,d remove the bottom “out of line display” area
+Screen
+
+k q clear the backlog of queues messages
+k e clear the scrolling messages
+k s,ref display the current settings
+k s,del=rd have message scroll off the top automatically
+k s,del=n stop messages scrolling off the top
+k e,n  remove nth message from the top of the screen – useful of the messages do not scroll.
+d pfk
+k n,PFk=(001,CMD=’d a,l;d ts,l’) sets the pf key to the command strings separated by ;

+TASID
+TASID is a “monitor” tool developed internally within IBM to monitor activity on a z/OS system. It is displayed in ISPF on TSO.     It displays IPL info, storage usage, address space usage etc.   Think of unix “top” function.
+
+Note that some options may not  operate correctly on all z/OS systems. Download it from IBM here.

+find . -mtime 4 all files in the current directory modified exactly 4 days ago
+find . -ctime 3 all files with attributes change exactly 3 day ago
+find . -atime -1 all files in the current directory accessed less than one day ago. Though I do not see how this works in a R/O file system across IPLs
+find . -mtime -1 -a -type f files modified less than 1 day ago, and it is a regular file. -type d for dictionary
+mkdir 
+mkdir -p and the intermediate directories
+pax another way of packing files to make them portable. It keeps meta data.
+pax -W “seqparms=’space=(cyl,(30,30))'” -wzvf “//’COLIN.PAX.CONSOLE'” -x os390 *.c *.h *.s *.py to create a dataset with the contents.
+pax -vf “//’COLIN.PAX.CONSOLE'” *.s to list the dataset, matching *.s
+pax -rvf “//’COLIN.PAX.CONSOLE'” *.s to read the dataset matching *.s
+tar -tf myfile.pax To display contents of a pax file.  This can be used on Linux.
+tar -xf myfile.pax  name.type To extract name.type from a pax file. It keeps the directory structure from the pax file.
