User Commands
SUBMIT
Embedded console commands must be preceded by a host console
command prefix so that they are recognized as commands. The host
console command prefix you use depends on the host system to which
you are connected:
• JES2: commands must be preceded by /*[], where [] is the host
command prefix configured for your workstation in the NMMGR
Workstation Data screen.
• JES3: commands must be preceded by //*[], where [] is the host
command prefix configured for your workstation in the NMMGR
Workstation Data screen.
• VSE/POWER: commands must be preceded by * ∆. . ∆, where ∆ is a
required space.
NOTE The asterisk (*) is required by NRJE to parse console commands and is
not required by the host.
Additional Notes
The communications line to a host must be opened before the
subsystem can transmit files in the corresponding transmission queue
of the workstation. The communications line is opened as part of the
workstation startup.
In executing a SUBMIT command, NRJE prepares a spool file, but it does
not send the file to a host. If the communications line is down, your files
remain in the transmission queue. Once the communications line is
open, NRJE can transmit the spool files that have a priority greater
than the
ReaderFence value, or if that value is zero, the MPE
OutFence . The subsystem defers files that have a priority less than or
equal to the operative fence value.
NRJE transmits undeferred files that have the highest priority first.
You can influence the initial position of a file in a transmission queue by
using the
PRIORITY parameter in the SUBMIT command.
You can specify a particular workstation transmission queue by
entering the WSID= Wsid parameter in this command. If you omit the
Wsid parameter, this command refers to the transmission queue of the
default workstation. You establish a default workstation by using the
Wsid parameter when you start an NRJE workstation with an NRJE
command.
Output from job streams is received when the communications line
with the host system is active. See Chapter 4 , “Job Output,” for a
discussion of how job output is received. Also see the Installing and
Troubleshooting SNA NRJE Manual or the SNA NRJE Node
Manager’s Guide for information on what to do when your output
appears to go to the wrong destination.
