/ commands are issued in the product called SDSF and they are MVS console commands documented in the MVS System Commands book. They aren't TSO commands. They are like entering commands at the system console.

TSO commands go to TSO which is, as you describe it, the 'command line' for a z/OS user (well, a TSO user, at least).

this commands 'normally' are allowed only to operator, systemers... and not to programmers.

Here is a little quiz: Where can you use "/" in the "ISPF commands" world? Very Happy

1. To select an action in the result list of the Dataset List Utility, usually option 3.4
2. As an action character in the referral list of the ISPF Workplace
3. To open a popup panel for selecting an action on the member list of the Library Utility, usually menu option 3.1
4. In many other list panels as a placeholder value for the default action character, for example working as "s" in the member selection list of the Move/Copy Utility, usually available through option 3.3

Not really "ISPF commands" but also worth mentioning is the fact that "/" is commonly used as character representing an option which has been chosen, for example on the Edit Entry Panel. The user may use any character he wants but the internal panel code replaces his input by a slash to indicate the selected option similar to the checkmark on checkboxes on graphical GUI interfaces.

Also, when you put "/" next to a member name, and select option 12 (TSO Command), you can use "/" anywhere in the command to represent the dataset name.
