RJE/XL Features
RJE/XL provides the capabilities of the IBM 2780 Data Transmission
Terminals and the IBM 3780 Data Communication Terminals plus the
following:
* When emulating an IBM 2780, RJE/XL does short-record truncation
without the user having to supply EM control characters in the data.
* When emulating an IBM 2780, RJE/XL can do blank field compression.
* When emulating either an IBM 2780 or an IBM 3780, RJE/XL provides
input and output access to a greater variety of peripheral devices
including disk and magnetic tape.
* When emulating an IBM 2780, RJE/XL can block more than seven records.
* RJE/XL has native language support.
* RJE/XL supports auto-answer.
* RJE/XL supports auto-disconnect.
Programmatic Control
The function of programmatic control is to allow a user to run the RJE/XL
subsystem so that application programs running concurrently with the
subsystem may submit command files to it. RJE/XL processes commands from
command files generated by applications programs as if these subsystem
commands were entered sequentially from ordinary command input files.
Hardware: There is no requirement for hardware changes.
Software: MPE XL release 2.0 or later System Operator (OP)
capability is necessary for a user to be able to execute
RJE/XL with programmatic control.
For information on creating message files for programmatic operations,
see chapter 4, "Setting Up RJE/XL for Programmatic Use."
RJE/XL as Remote Dedicated Print Station
RJE/XL can communicate with a host system at 64000 bits per second (64K
bps). With an HP2680A laser printer connected to an HP 3000 similar to
that in an HP2685 model 40 print station you can have a very
cost-effective remote print station for an IBM plug compatible host
system that operates in a bisynchronous (BSC) network.
For equipment required to use RJE/XL in this mode, refer to this chapter
and appendix B.
When operating at a high line speed you should consult with host system
operations.
