It can be any command that is valid for command line execution on the remote computer's operating system.

If the command contains spaces, it must be enclosed in single ( ' ) quotation marks.

UNIX

If the command contains spaces, it must be enclosed in single ( ' ) or double ( " ) quotation marks.

z/OS

command can be continued onto multiple lines. No continuation character is required. command is read starting at the first enclosing quotation mark to the ending enclosing quotation mark.


If an enclosing character is part of the command, use two consecutive characters to produce one in the command.

The remote command shell processes command meta-characters (for example, redirection < and > and pipes | ) as normal on the remote computer.
