Sample batch job

Figure 1 shows a sample batch job. This job invokes the MVS™/TSO Terminal Monitor Program (TMP) which, in MVS, establishes the environment necessary to attach command processors. The ISPSTART command is specified in the TSO background input stream (SYSTSIN) with the name of a CLIST (TBUPDATE) that contains the ISPF services to be run.
