Command line control commands
The Backspace key is used for basic editing in CICS. The use of other editing keys
requires a VT100 terminal-emulation program. All other characters are echoed as they
are.
Table 63 lists the keys that can be used to edit commands in CICS.
Special characters
An equal sign (=) or a question mark (?) can be used to initiate an action, or request
information (see page 462, Using = and ?).
Command prompt
CICS V3.20 (or later) has an optional prompt to enter commands, that is, >, which
indicates that commands can be entered (see page 431, prompt command).
