Common VTAM commands
 D NET,VTAMOPTS Displays VTAM startup options.
 D NET,CSM[,OWNERID=ALL] Displays communication storage usage.
 D NET,APPLS Displays status of defined applications (ACBs).
 D NET,MAJNODES Displays status of VTAM activated ATCCONxx members.
 D NET,TOPO,LIST=SUMMARY Displays APPN topology information.
 D NET,CPCP Displays status of APPN CP-CP sessions.
 D NET,SESSIONS Displays status of subarea SSCP-SSCP sessions.
 D NET,CDRMS Displays status of subarea cross domain resource
managers.
