(Go To READER) on the NRJE Configuration: Workstation Data screen.
(You can go directly to this screen from any screen by typing
@NRJE.wsid.READER in the command window and pressing [ENTER].) NRJE
spools submitted jobs to the virtual reader. If the communications line
to the host is down, NRJE holds jobs in the queue until the line is
active. NRJE then transmits the jobs according to their position in the
queue. You configure only one reader for each workstation. This reader
is an internal MPE spooling device and does not correspond to readers
configured at the host.
Figure 3-8. Reader Data Screen Example
Fields
Path For display only. The NMMGR path for this screen. It includes
the name of the workstation whose virtual reader you are
configuring.
Logical Device Required. The ldev to which NRJE will spool submitted jobs.
For NRJE/V, you must configure this ldev into the I/O system by
using the SYSDUMP utility (see the SNA Link Services Reference
Manual); this must be followed by a cold start. For NRJE/XL,
you must configure an ldev using the SYSGEN utility and then
reboot the system. See the System Startup, Configuration, and
Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-6005). This ldev must not be
used for anything else. When the system is rebooted, NRJE/XL
will complete the configuration process for you.
NOTE Do not specify the same reader ldev for workstations that might be
simultaneously active.
Range: 1 - 999 (integer)
SYSDUMP (MPE V only): Configure the ldev as a type 22 subtype 2
device. The DRT must be back-referenced to the ldev number of
the INP or the system disc. Set the record width to 40 words;
set the unit, channel, and output device to 0. Specify driver
IONRDR0.
Chain Size Required. The maximum number of RUs that NRJE will transmit
before requiring a definite response from the host. You can get
higher throughput with larger values, but if line trouble
occurs, the data might have to be retransmitted from the
beginning of the chain. Also, if you are using only a few LUs,
specifying a larger value here might impact remote console
response time.
Range: 1 - 99 (integer)
Default: 10
Translation Required. The type of translation NRJE will perform on jobs
Indicator sent to the host:
* 0 = Native - 3000 translation
Input in the Native-3000 language (ASCII) is translated to
EBCDIC before it is sent to the host.
* 1 - 255 = Native Language ID
An integer that corresponds to a language other than
Native-3000. Input in the language chosen is translated to
EBCDIC before it is sent to the host.

parameter of the RMTnnnn macro; see table 3-4.
* JES3: This must be less than or equal to the RD parameter
of the RJPWS macro; see table 3-6.
* VSE/POWER: This field is ignored (because one reader is
assumed).
Compression On Required. Enter Y if the host accepts compressed in-bound data;
N, otherwise.
Default: Y
Host Configuration: This must match the PRIPROT parameter of
the MODEENT macro in the Logmode Table entry used by this
workstation (VTAM); see table 3-2.
* JES2: If you specify Y, the COMP parameter must be
specified in the RMTnnnn macro for the workstation; see
table 3-4.
* JES3: Does not apply.
* VSE/POWER: You must specify N, because VSE/POWER does not
support compressed in-bound data.
