Job Output
Job Output Handling
Unless you have specified PR= ‘formid’ or PU= ‘formid’ options in your
SUBMIT command (not available if NRJE is connected to a VSE/POWER
host system), output routed to the standard form is not controlled by
the Lookup Table even if it is in use. For all host job entry subsystems,
when using the Lookup Table, if a data set is to be routed to the
standard or host default form, the output file characteristics defined in
the NMMGR Writer Data screen are used to open the destination file.
These characteristics include logical device number or name of a
spooled device and output priority. So, you do not have to put an entry
for the standard form in the table. Any entry in the Lookup Table under
the standard form name is ignored for standard form output.
PR= and PU= options to the SUBMIT command are used to control
standard forms output in printer and punch streams, respectively. If
you have used PR=
‘formid’ or PU= ‘formid’ options in a SUBMIT
command, the standard forms output is routed according to the file
equation attributes for the entry
formid in the Lookup Table.
Data sets routed to forms other than the standard form are referred to
as special forms output.
Special Forms Processing
For SNA NRJE, a special form is any form name other than the default
or standard form name configured for your host system. Special forms
are supported for both print and punch output. NRJE processes special
forms through one of the following:
• The SUBMIT command FO= parameter specifications, or
• The Lookup Table, which maps the form name to an output
destination.
If you are not using job management or output management, NRJE
processes special forms requests as follows:
1. Whenever special forms output destined for printers is received from
the host system and becomes active in the MPE Spooler, the
HP 3000 console operator is prompted to mount the required special
form on the printer.
2. After the form has been mounted, MPE writes the output file to the
printer.
Remember, if you submit several jobs to a host with one SUBMIT
command, any alternate output destinations specified in the
PRINT or
PUNCH parameters (for standard forms output) or FORMS parameters (for
special forms output) override JCL specifications. The SUBMIT
command is explained in Chapter 3 , “User Commands.”
