    Is there a way to set a default for a top line command in Workload Automation CA-7?

     

    For example if a user issues DEMAND,JOB=ABCDEF can you default that command to issue a SET=NTR behind the scenes?

    There is no way to make SET=NTR a default for the DEMAND command.  You could set up a PFKEY to echo back to the terminal:

     

    DEMAND,SET=NTR,JOB=

     

    so that the end user only has to key the jobname and then enter.  Please see the CA 7 System Programmer Guide Chapter in the initialization file for how to set PF keys there or the CA 7 Commands guide to set PF keys in a user's profile (/PROF[S])

     

    Please contact CA 7 support if you need further help with this.

    I'm not sure I would recommend it, but your systems programmer COULD code a CA-7 command exit (see Systems Programmer Guide).  That exit gets the original command and can alter it.
