Command examples are incorrect for 'zowe console issue'.

[KevinLoesch1]

If you issue the command 'zowe console issue --help-examples', the example statements are incorrect. They do not contain the second required parameter, console. Issuing the examples as is will result in an error.

 EXAMPLES
 --------

   - Issue a z/OS console command to display the IPL information
   for the system:

      $ zowe issue command "D IPLINFO"

   - Issue a z/OS console command to display the local and
   coordinated universal time and date:

      $ zowe issue command "D T"

   - Issue a Db2 command to display information about the status
   and configuration of DDF:

      $ zowe issue command "\-DB1G DISPLAY DDF"

Is this correct ?
$ zowe console issue command "D IPLINFO" --console <console name>
$ zowe issue command "D T" --console <console name>
$ zowe issue command "\-DB1G DISPLAY DDF" --console <console name>
I think this is the solution but added a placeholder for console name, since specific console names vary system to system.
I think you can get it DISPLAY CONSOLE command. please correct if I'm wrong

What version of zowe CLI are you running? Is it a really old version of Zowe CLI?

The current help displays the following example:

Issue a z/OS console command to display the local and coordinated universal time and date:

    zowe zos-console issue command "D T"

When you issue the command from the help, you get the following result:

zowe zos-console issue command "D T"
IEE136I LOCAL: TIME=13.39.14 DATE=2023.135  UTC: TIME=17.39.14 DATE=2023.135

Is this correct ? $ zowe console issue command "D IPLINFO" --console <console name> $ zowe issue command "D T" --console <console name> $ zowe issue command "\-DB1G DISPLAY DDF" --console <console name> I think this is the solution but added a placeholder for console name, since specific console names vary system to system. I think you can get it DISPLAY CONSOLE command. please correct if I'm wrong

This issue has nothing to do with a console name. It is simply a bug in the help. The examples are missing the command group.
The command is 'zowe zos-console issue' or 'zowe console issue', not 'zowe issue' .

Sorry my bad should have read the docs first rather than giving a quick fix :")
can I resolve this issue?
zowe zos-console issue command "D IPLINFO"
zowe zos-console issue command "D T"
zowe zos-console issue command "\-DB1G DISPLAY DDF"
This is correct I believe
edit - need some help can't find the file which displays the whole --help-examples. Don't know where the Command.definitions.ts files data exported, looking for this past 1.5 hours.
