Job Output
Job and Output Management
• Continuation records are allowed, using the ampersand (&) as the
last non-blank character.
• Concatenated records cannot exceed 260 non-blank characters.
• The file can be kept either numbered or unnumbered.
• No distinction is made between upper and lower case characters.
• An entry for each
formid to be supported by the workstation must
appear in the table. Each entry is limited to 6 characters if
configured in the writer screen.
• NRJE performs a linear search when accessing the table. If
duplicate
formids reside in the table, only the first one is used.
Example Lookup Table Entry
NRJE will access the above entry whenever an output data set is to be
printed on the form form7. That output will be routed to device EPOC
using environment file lp602.hpenv.sys, unless you indicate different
routing specifications with the SUBMIT command routing options.
Using the Lookup Table
At startup, SNA NRJE references the Lookup Table identified in the
Formid Lookup Table File field in the NMMGR Workstation Data
Page 2 screen. If this field is blank, NRJE will operate without a
Lookup Table. If NRJE finds a Lookup Table configured in this field, but
the file does not exist, NRJE terminates and the following message is
displayed:
NRJE UNABLE TO OPEN LOOKUP TABLE. (MON=544)
Operation With the Lookup Table
Each workstation copies the Lookup Table into a temporary internal
file. A linear search through the temporary file is performed whenever a
data set requesting a special form is received. If a match is found,
NRJE uses the corresponding file equation record to route the data set.
If the
formid is not found in the temporary file, NRJE opens the
permanent file and checks to determine whether it has increased in size
since the last access. If it has increased in size, NRJE will reload the
internal temporary file and search again for the
formid before going
