Job Output Handling
Specifying Multiple Copies
You can direct NRJE to print multiple copies of a data set when output
is routed to an NRJE print device. You select multiple copies by using
the
COPIES parameter in your JCL. For example, for MVS JCL,
// ddname DD SYSOUT=C,COPIES=27
To select multiple copies of a single data set, you should specify a
unique class for each data set. To generate multiple data sets with
multiple copies, you should select a separate class for each data set or
generate the data sets in separate jobs. Also, each workstation writer
should be configured to receive a unique class of output.
NOTE The COPIES parameter is not supported on punch output.
Routing Output to Disk Files
When writing to a fixed-width disk file, MPE pads with ASCII blanks if
the destination file is ASCII and with binary zeros if the destination file
is binary. No padding is done for variable- or undefined-width files.
For print output, the Carriage Control character is the first byte of each
record. No carriage control information is in punch output.
Routing Output to Tape Files
When writing to a tape device, variable record widths should be
specified in the file equation. Note that the default record width used by
NRJE is 256 bytes. This value can be overridden in a file equation if
desired. For print output, include the cctl designation in the file
equation.
Examples
file tape;dev=tape;rec=-132,,v,ascii;cctl (for print output)
or
file tape;dev=tape;rec=128,,v,binary;nocctl (for punch output)
then, issue this command:
infile ;FO=*tape
Use of the SUBMIT command is described in Chapter 3 , “User
Commands,” and under “Job Management with the SUBMIT
Command” later in this chapter. Alternately, similar file equation
records could be referenced in the output management Lookup Table.
Use of the Lookup Table is described in “Output Management with the
Lookup Table” later in this chapter.
