Chapter 4 Job Output
Introduction
This chapter details the procedures you follow to use SNA NRJE to receive
output from jobs you have submitted to your host system.
The topics discussed are as follows:
* Job output handling, including a number of general considerations
that apply to all output received from the host.
* Job management, by which final destination of output can be
controlled when a job is submitted for transmission to the host.
* Output management, by which the final destination of output can be
controlled through the use of a Lookup Table.
* Handling spooled output.
* Handling unsolicited output.
Output from a job can be received from a host whenever communication is
established between an NRJE workstation and a host.
NOTE If you are connected to a VSE/POWER host system, all output must be
requested. That is, a VSE/POWER command, START LSTn,class must be
issued either from the console (if it is owned) or in your
transmitted file before the first VSE/POWER JECL or VSE JCL JOB
card. Submitting this command allows output data sets to be
transmitted via the VSE/POWER list task, LSTn. The list tasks for
VSE/POWER control printer output entering the list queue.
Similarly, for punch output, a punch task must be started (START
PUNn,class) to get the output to be returned to your NRJE
workstation. class is an alphabetic character indicating output
class to be handled by the started device. Multiple classes can be
specified in a single command. See the IBM publication VSE/POWER
Remote Entry User's Guide (SH12-5328) for additional information.
Note that if the command is issued from the console mode, you must
precede it with the host console command prefix as configured in
the NMMGR Workstation Data screen. If the command is embedded in a
submitted job stream, you must precede it with the character string
* Å . . Å where Å is a required space.
Job output can be directed to any output device that is supported on your
HP 3000. These include laser printers, line printers, and disc and
tapefiles. These devices can be spooled or non-spooled.
Job management is the ability to specify the final destination of the
output at the time the job is submitted to NRJE to be transmitted. These
procedures are described under "Job Management With the SUBMIT Command"
later in this chapter.
Output management is the ability to route output by specifying special
forms for output data sets using file equation records in a Lookup Table.
These procedures are described under "Output Management with the Lookup
Table" later in this chapter.
