Appendix D  RJE/V versus RJE/XL 

The following is a list of differences between RJE/V and RJE/XL:

 *  X.21 is not supported in RJE/XL.

 *  Since SYSDUMP no longer exists on MPE XL, RJE XL link configuration
    data is entered via NMMGR. Refer to Chapter 3, "Configuring Host
    Systems to Include RJE/XL."

 *  RJE/XL generates fewer CS ERROR error codes than RJE/V. The error
    codes section will explain the set generated by RJE/XL.

 *  The format of the trace entries have changed from RJE/V. The NMDUMP
    program will now be used to format the trace instead of CSDUMP. Refer
    to chapters 6 and 7.

 *  RJE/XL now supports the LINKCONTROL command for displaying status and
    statistics and dynamically turning trace on and off.  This command
    replaces SHOWCOM in MPE V.

 *  RJE/XL is now part of the NMMAINT utility that displays the version
    numbers of all the components of a particular subsystem.  Use a parm
    number of 37 to display RJE/XL's version numbers.

 *  On RJE/V, if the INP is configured as a dial-up line and an initial
    linebid timeout occurs, an initial linebid fails or the inactivity
    timer pops, the INP sends a DLE EOT and drops the link.  On RJE/XL,
    the PSI drops the link only after the local timeout pops.

 *  When using the RJLINE command on RJE/XL, the NODE and QUEUETIME
    parameters are no longer valid since X.21 is not supported.  Also,
    since logical devices are no longer valid, if the DEV= parameter
    specifies a number, it will be interpreted as an RJE link name,
    RJExxx, where xxx is the number specified in the DEV= parameter.

 *  Although the TRACE=ON parameter syntax remains the same, only the
    trace file name field will be used.  The rest of the fields ALL,
    WRAP, MASK, and numentries are ignored.  The default trace file for
    RJE/XL is NMTC####.PUB.SYS.
