Creating a Message File
Users and processes need message files to write to when they submit
command files for execution. Message files are identified in the MSGFILE
parameter for the RJLINE command. The file itself must be an MSG file
with a record size sufficiently large to accomodate a fully qualified
file name. The number of records within a message file should be large
enough to handle the activity of the system. The message file must be
created in group and account MSG.RJE. This group and account must be
created if it does not already exist on the system. Moreover, the
default file security for this group and account must allow the user
(node manager), who initiates RJE/XL in programmatic control mode, to
read from files within the group and account MSG.RJE. This is because
RJE/XL operates within the logon group and account of the user (node
manager). Users or applications which submit command files will also
need the ability to write permanent files there.
The following is an example session where a message file is created:
:HELLO MANAGER.RJE,MSG
:BUILD MESSAGE;REC=-36,,V,ASCII;MSG;DISC=100
:BYE
