Job Output Handling
VSE/POWER Commands If your NRJE workstation is connected to a
VSE/POWER host system, you can modify the class of the output to
match the class of a logical output device configured on your host as
your remote. The command that you use is the ALTER (A) command:
[]A,
queue,jobname ,CLASS= class
where [] is the host command prefix that you have
configured in the NMMGR Workstation Data screen for
your workstation;
queue is either LST for list queue
output, or PUN for punch queue output;
jobname is the
name you used on your VSE/POWER JECL or VSE
JCL JOB statement; and
class is an alphabetic (A–Z)
character.
See the IBM publication VSE/POWER Remote Job
Entry User’s Guide.
Example
*A,PUN,MYJOB,CLASS=A
This command alters the punch output for MYJOB to
class A. In this example, the host console command
prefix character has been configured to be an asterisk
(*).
Summary
You can associate each output data set in a job with a logical writer by
using appropriate job control statements in your job stream or, for
VSE/POWER, by issuing an []ALTER console command.
Your host system must relate an output class to a logical writer. This
occurs when your host is configured, or for JES2 and JES3, when
appropriate console commands are issued.
Carriage Control Translation
The host system inserts SNA character strings into printer, console,
and punch data. SNA character strings contain carriage control and
record separation information.
Carriage control characters are written only to printer devices. For
punch devices, carriage control characters are not written. For console
output, the carriage control character %201 (print then single space) is
written with each record to the $STDLIST device of the console user.
For console output, multiple carriage control characters sent in
sequence are treated as a single carriage control character by NRJE.
The carriage control characters (except No operation) delimit records.
