Preparing to Use DYNUTIL
Before running DYNUTIL, CA Dynam/D must be initialized and active.
You can enter DYNUTIL commands from the operator console, if desired. If a
command function cancels, the next command is processed by DYNUTIL. You
can define all commands in a SYSIPT file, which is device-independent. Error
messages are directed to SYSLST, which is also device-independent.
