Re: TSO OMVS Command area
Make your screen bigger :-). You should be able to end a line with \, enter it, then continue with more stuff. Or, edit it into a script file.

Re: TSO OMVS Command area
Use the "\" (backslash) character, from the "UNIX System Services User's Guide" "Entering a long shell command If you are typing a long command that will not fit on the command line, you can use the \ (backslash) continuation character at the end of the first line. When you then press , the command line is cleared so that you can continue typing. The line you typed prior to the backslash is displayed in the output area, and beneath it the shell prompt changes to > to indicate that you are continuing a command."
