Show commands when running script with multiple CLI commands

I work with CLI more often than with GUI when provisioning and configuring DS8000. There is a possibility to run multiple CLI commands using a text file. It works well and it is super useful. It would be nice to see commands that have actually been executed. At the moment one sees only the outcome of the command. If one could see both commands that have been executed and the outcome, it would be a full audit trail that one could save using save log functionality.

    The echo option will do this if it is enabled.

    The echo command can also be issued on the DSCLI on the HMC to enable this here.
