User Commands
##FD
If a job card is included in the
Infile
, then its format must adhere to
the same syntax as that specified for the SUBMIT command. Refer to the
“Description” section of the SUBMIT command discussed later in this
chapter.
If a file is built that requests input from $STDIN or $STDINX, the
optional comment field on the ##FD card should be used to identify the
type of input that is expected. Then, when the job input stream is
constructed, the comment is printed at the user's terminal ahead of the
standard NRJE message:
ENTER INPUT ENDING WITH ":EOD"
For example, if an
Infile
DATA1 contains the ##FD record shown in
example three below, then the following will appear at the user's
terminal:
THIS INPUT IS FOR FILE DATA1.
ENTER INPUT ENDING WITH ":EOD"
The ##FD card, in this case, prompts the user for interactive input into
the DATA1 file. Note that the comment has been capitalized by NRJE.
Example
##FD TATK100J (N) TATK100J is already translated.
##FD DS1 (T) Job cards are ignored.
##FD $STDIN This input is for file DATA1. Prompts user for interactive input.
