Some commands display information or affect the entire MAS, while others display information or affect only the member where the command is issued.

You might want to expand the scope of a command that affects only that single member to all members of the MAS. If so, you can use the MVS™ ROUTE *ALL command to issue a command to all active members of the MAS.

However, to use the ROUTE *ALL command to send a command to all members of the MAS, each member of the MAS must have the same console character. See the CONCHAR parameter on the CONDEF initialization statement or the $T CONDEF command for information about setting the console character.

Each command includes a description of the scope of that command.
