Example: Create a command

This example shows how to create a command to allow the system operator to call a program to start the system.

This example assumes you are using IBM-supplied source files. Do the following.

Enter the command definition source statement into the source file QCMDSRC using the member name of STARTUP.
```
CMD PROMPT('S Command for STARTUP')
```
Create the command by entering the following command.
```
CRTCMD CMD(S) PGM(STARTUP) SRCMBR(STARTUP)
```

Enter the source statements for the STARTUP program (the command processing program).

PGM
STRSBS QINTER
STRSBS QBATCH
STRSBS QSPL
STRPRTWTR DEV(QSYSPRT) OUTQ(QPRINT) WTR(WTR)
STRPRTWTR DEV(WSPR2) OUTQ(WSPRINT) WTR(WTR2)
SNDPGMMSG MSG('STARTUP procedure completed') MSGTYPE(*COMP)
ENDPGM

Create the program using the Create Bound CL Program (CRTBNDCL) command.
```
CRTBNDCL STARTUP
```

In the previous example, S is the name of the new command (specified by the CMD parameter). STARTUP is the name of the command processing program (specified by the PGM parameter) and also the name of the source member that contains the command definition statement (specified by the SRCMBR parameter). Now the system operator can either enter S to call the command or CALL STARTUP to call the command processing program.
