Printing History 

New editions are complete revisions of the manual.  Update packages,
which are issued between editions, contain additional and replacement
pages to be merged into the manual by the customer.  The dates on the
title page change only when a new edition or a new update is published.
No information is incorporated into a reprinting unless it appears as a
prior update; the edition does not change when an update is incorporated.

Note that many product updates and fixes do not require manual changes
and, conversely, manual corrections may be done without accompanying
product changes.  Therefore, do not expect a one-to-one correspondence
between product updates and manual updates.

List of Effective Pages  The List of Effective Pages gives the date of
                         the current edition and of any pages changed in
                         updates to that edition.  Within the manual, any
                         page changed since the last edition is indicated
                         by printing the date the changes were made on
                         the bottom of the page.  Changes are marked with
                         a vertical bar in the margin.  If an update is
                         incorporated when an edition is reprinted, these
                         bars are removed but the dates remain.  No
                         information is incorporated into a reprinting
                         unless it appears as a prior update.

Documentation Map 

The following documentation map is intended to be a general guideline to
the manuals containing information related to the product described in
this manual.  You may need information from one or all the manuals listed
here.


Preface 

This manual describes the Hewlett-Packard Remote Job Entry Subsystem,
RJE. RJE emulates the IBM 2780 Data Transmission Terminal and the IBM
3780 Data Communication Terminal, making it possible for you to exchange
data between your HP 3000 Computer and a variety of remote processors.
The communication occurs over the public telephone switched network or
over private leased lines.

RJE runs under control of the HP 3000 Multiprogramming Executive
Operating Systems, MPE V and MPE XL, and is supported on the HP 3000
Series 44 or later systems.

Audience 

This manual assumes that you have a working knowledge of MPE and that you
have some familiarity with either the IBM 2780 or the IBM 3780.
Knowledge of the IBM Binary Synchronous Communications (BSC) line
protocol conventions would be useful but is not required.  (A summary is
provided in Appendix C.)

Organization 

This manual is arranged as follows:

Chapter 1, Introduction to RJE, introduces the RJE commands, product
features, capabilities and required system environment.

Chapter 2, Getting Started with RJE, describes a simple RJE session.

Chapter 3, RJE User Commands, describes the RJE commands.

Chapter 4, Using RJE in Batch and Interactive Mode, discusses the use of
RJE in batch and interactive modes.

Chapter 5, Using RJE in Programmatic Mode, describes programmatic control
operations.

Appendix A, Interpreting Messages, lists and discusses the error
messages.

Appendix B, Using RJE Files, provides information on using files with
RJE.

Syntax Conventions 

nonitalics                Words in syntax statements which are not in
                          italics must be entered exactly as shown.
                          Punctuation characters other than brackets,
                          braces, and ellipses must also be entered
                          exactly as shown.  For example:

                               EXIT;

italics                   Words in syntax statements that are in italics
                          denote a parameter that must be replaced by a
                          user-supplied variable.  For example:

                               CLOSE filename 

[ ]                       An element inside brackets in a syntax
                          statement is optional.  Several elements
                          stacked inside brackets indicates the user may
                          select any one or none of these elements.  For
                          example:

                               [A]
                               [B]    User may select A or B or C or none.
                               [C]

{ }                       When several elements are stacked within braces
                          in a syntax statement, the user must select one
                          of those elements.  For example:

                               {A}
                               {B}   User must select A or B or C.
                               {C}

...                       A horizontal ellipsis in a syntax statement
                          indicates that a previous element may be
                          repeated.  For example:

                               [,itemname]...;

                          In addition, vertical and horizontal ellipses
                          may be used in examples to indicate that
                          portions of the example have been omitted.

Å                         When necessary for clarity, the symbol Å may be
                          used in a syntax statement to indicate a
                          required blank or an exact number of blanks.
                          For example:

                               SET[modifier] Å (variable)

underlining               Brackets, braces, or ellipses appearing in
                          syntax or format statements which must be
                          entered as shown will be underlined.  For
                          example:

                               LET var[[subscript]] = value 

                          Output and input/output parameters are
                          underlined.  A notation in the description of
                          each parameter distinguishes input/output from
                          output parameters.  For example:

                               CREATE (parm1,parm2,flags,error)

[Key Cap]                 A string in bold font enclosed by brackets may
                          be used to indicate a key on the terminal's
                          keyboard.  For example, [ENTER] indicates the
                          carriage return key.

[CTRL]-char               Control characters are indicated by [CTRL] 
                          followed by the character.  For example,
                          [CTRL]-Y means the user presses the control key
                          and the Y key simultaneously.
