Job Output
Job Output Handling
• In a file equation that you backreference directly as a SUBMIT
command output destination.
• In a Lookup Table file equation that you reference in a SUBMIT
command by its form name.
If you do not specify an environment file by one of these methods, the
default environment file configured for the HP 268xx is used.
The recommended procedure is to use the Lookup Table and map form
names to environment files that can be used when output is routed to
the laser printer. This process is described under “Output Management
with the Lookup Table” later in this chapter. In this case, FCB records
returned from the host are ignored.
It is possible to name an environment file in an FCB, although this
procedure is more difficult than the procedures listed above. If you do
not use the Lookup Table, the FCB information is used as an
environment file name that is appended with the accounting
information HPENV.SYS. An example of an MVS JCL DD card with an
environment file is:
// DD.... FCB=KIM
Environment file KIM.HPENV.SYS is used for this data set, unless the
FORCED option is Y for your workstation logical writer configuration.
When your output is received from the host system, NRJE uses the
environment file named in the FCB and residing in HPENV.SYS to
produce your output on an HP 268xx. The environment file is always
copied to your spool file.
Peripheral Device Information Record
Whether you are controlling the output received by NRJE by
specifications made in the SUBMIT command, through the use of the
Lookup Table, or by allowing the MPE Spooler to handle the output,
much of the information used by NRJE to perform job and output
management is transferred in a header data structure called the
Peripheral Device Information Record (PDIR). SNA NRJE can be
configured to log PDIR information. The contents of a PDIR are
described in Table 4-3.
NOTE
NRJE requires that the IBM host job entry subsystem (JES2, JES3, or
VSE/POWER) send a PDIR after selecting the output destination with
an FMH1 BDS (Begin Destination Selection) before sending job output.
NRJE will reject output not preceded by a PDIR.
