*DIA Switch to User Input

*DIA [cmd] The *DIA statement will result in all subsequent input being requested from the user, i.e the input medium is returned to the keyboard.

cmd If cmd is specified, that command will be executed before control is returned to the user. Any CFS or BS2000 command can be specified.

Examples:

*DIA /SYSFILE SYSDTA=(PRIMARY)

*DIA ^ (Return from a Connection to the main task).

*DIA RES CFS.LOG.xxx
