Getting Started Before your users can start sessions and/or jobs, they must be logged on to the system. When a user's terminal is switched on, the prompt (:), or a locally defined equivalent, should be displayed. If it is not, pressing Return will bring it up. Users log on to interactive devices by entering the command HELLO, a space, a user ID, and (if required) a password. Users log on to batch devices with the command JOB and the appropriate identification. The system answers by displaying a welcome message (if you have created one). An example welcome message is illustrated in this chapter. The system operator, or a user allowed programmatic session capability (PS), can use the STARTSESS command to start an interactive session on an unoccupied remote terminal. A remote terminal is one that is not the terminal from which the STARTSESS command is entered. Batch jobs may be started by entering the STREAM command, followed by the name of a batch file stored on disk or tape. The batch file must start with the JOB command. Refer to the commands JOB and STREAM in the MPE XL Commands Reference Manual (32650-90003).
