Job and Output Management
With either of the above DD statements, the applicable data set will be
routed to special form PYCK. The form name is placed into the PDIR by
the host system. When it receives the PDIR for the data set, NRJE will
use the name of the special form PYCK to key into the Lookup Table.
This table must be built by the NRJE manager and must contain all
special
formids supported at your remote, along with file equation
attributes for each
formid . SNA NRJE will open the output file based
on the file equation attributes found in the table. An example Lookup
Table entry is shown below under “Example Lookup Table Entry.” Note
that a sample Lookup Table file is provided in the SAMPTABL sample file
in NRJE.SYS.
Creating the Lookup Table
The Lookup Table is a file created in the SYS account, and it contains
the
formid names and associated file equation attributes. To enable the
Lookup Table feature, the NRJE manager must perform the following
tasks:
1. Build the Lookup Table in the SYS account using an editor such as
EDIT/3000 or TDP/3000.
2. Specify the Lookup Table file name in the field of the NMMGR
Workstation Data Page 2 screen. (The default value is
NRJETABL.NRJE.SYS.)
Format of Lookup Table Entries
The format you must use for the entries when creating or adding to the
Lookup Table with the editor is as follows:
Columns 1–8:
formid names. Any combination of alphanumeric or
IBM National Characters (#, $, or @), left-justified,
padded with blanks if necessary.
formid CMD is
reserved.
NOTE If you have a 'formid' in the Output Destination field of the writer
screens, the Lookup Table entry can be only 6 characters. Although the
screen field length is 8 characters, 2 of those characters are apostrophes
(‘ ’).
Columns 9–EOR: File equation attributes as allowed by the MPE FILE
command. See MPE Commands Reference Manual for
details on the FILE command.
(EOR = End of Record; upper limit is 260 characters.)
In addition, the following rules apply to the Lookup Table entries:
• The Lookup Table can be of any record width supported by the
editor, to a limit of 260 bytes. 80 bytes are recommended to facilitate
viewing the file on a terminal screen.
