SNA NRJE User/Programmer Reference Manual
[] ... 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.
NRJE does not check the syntax of the host console command. Check the
IBM documentation that applies to your host installation for the commands
available and the syntax you must use. A list of IBM documents is in the
preface of this manual.
Example
_____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| R22>$DA Display all active jobs for a workstation. |
| Two NRJE subsystem messages follow. |
| |
| OPENING CONSOLE IN PROGRESS ... (CI=780) |
| HOST CONSOLE IS OPEN. (CI=858) |
| |
| |
| 10.01.14 JOB 753 $HASP608 XPRTRUN5 EXECUTING I PRIO 6 IPO1 |
| 10.01.14 JOB 754 $HASP608 XPRTRUN6 EXECUTING I PRIO 6 IPO1 |
_____________________________________________________________________________
This example shows that you can issue a host job entry subsystem command
without issuing a CONSOLE command.
Text Reference
See CONSOLE earlier in this chapter for the use in context of host
console commands. NRJESendCmd is the manager intrinsic counterpart of
this command; it is described in Chapter 6.
