[] ... HOST CONSOLE COMMAND
A host job entry system console command preceded by the host
command prefix character configured for the workstation.
Syntax
[]command
Parameters
[] The host job entry subsystem command prefix
character you have configured for the workstation.
Begin every remote console command to the host with
this character.
command Any legitimate command recognized by the host remote
console command processor. If you do not have NM
capability, this command must be allowed by your node
manager.
Description
The host command prefix character and a console mode prompt are
configured options in NRJE. They are entered in the NRJE
Configuration: Workstation Data screen. The configured host command
prefix character must be consistent with what is configured on the host
system. See the SNA Link Services Reference Manual (for MPE V) or
the SNA NRJE Node Manager’s Guide (for MPE XL) for configuration
information.
NOTE If you are connected to a VSE/POWER host system, the host expects no
command prefix. NRJE does require a prefix with each command,
however, to recognize that the string you enter is a VSE/POWER
command. NRJE strips off the command prefix before sending it to the
VSE/POWER host.
Entering a command string that begins with the host command
character enables you to issue a host job entry system command. If your
workstation is communicating with the host system and you have
access to the console, your command is transmitted. If you have not
obtained the console (see the CONSOLE command earlier in this chapter)
before issuing a host command, NRJE obtains it for you. While in
console mode, the configurable console mode prompt is displayed
instead of the standard workstation prompt. To relinquish access to the
host remote console, use the RELEASE command
