Using the Remote Subsystem from a Batch Job

While in a batch job, you can establish a remote session by using the DSLINE or REMOTE HELLO command. The job streamed may be similar to the following (local and remote prompts are shown for clarity):

          JOB USER.ACCOUNT
          :DSLINE REMOTE2
          :REMOTE HELLO RUSER.RACCOUNT
          :REMOTE
          #FILE OUT;DEV=LP
          #BUILD WORK;DISC=50
          #RUN USERPROG
          #PURGE WORK
          #:
          :REMOTE BYE
          :DSLINE;CLOSE
          :EOJ

	NOTE: The remote # prompt is optional. It allows you to more easily identify remote commands in a job stream.

Remember that once a remote session has been established, it interacts with the job in the same way as it would interact with a terminal. If the remote session detects an error, the error will be printed to $STDLIST. If the error generates a user prompt, the next record in the job file is read as the response (in the same manner as waiting for a character or [Return] on a terminal). That record is then lost to the job.
