Job Output
Job and Output Management
necessary, NRJE also checks the Lookup Table configured for NRJE for
routing information. The special form names used to access the
information from the Lookup Table are specified in the job stream or as
part of the SUBMIT command. The special form name is sent back to
NRJE in a PDIR generated by the host.
Job Management with the SUBMIT Command
Details for use of the SUBMIT command are in Chapter 3 , “User
Commands.”
For job management to work, the NRJE subsystem must be able to
obtain host job numbers from both “Job Received” messages and host
output banner pages. For the JES2 host job entry subsystem, if
standard messages and banners are generated, internal parsing
algorithms (available with SNA NRJE) are used to obtain this
information. For JES3, a parsing algorithm is used to obtain the job
number from the “Job Received” message, but the output banner need
not be scanned. The job number is transferred to NRJE from the host in
the spin number field of the PDIR.
User exits are provided if you need to generate parsing programs to
handle non-standard information coming from your host system. These
exits and the algorithms for the NRJE-supplied parsing routines are
described in Appendix A , “Parsing Algoithms and User Exit
Procedures.”
NOTE If you are connected to a VSE/POWER host, the job number that is
generated cannot be used to track the output data sets. As a result, use
of the Job Log is not in effect for NRJE connected to VSE/POWER. Job
management with the SUBMIT command is therefore not possible. The
SUBMIT command is still used to make jobs available for transmission to
the host.
With the SUBMIT command you can direct standard output with PR= or
PU=, and special forms output with FO= options. In each field you can
specify the following:
• A formal file designator (*
filename ).
• A logical device class in double quotes (
“DEVICE” ).
• A logical device number (
ldev ), which is a numeric entry.
• An actual file designator (alphanumeric, first character is
alphabetic).
• An alternate
formid listed in the Lookup Table, surrounded by
single quotes (
‘formid’ ).
The routing information you specify is stored in the workstation Job
Log. The Job Log consists of a KSAM data file and key file. The default
