RJE User/Programmer Reference Manual

Defining the Communications Line 

After invoking RJE, you are put in command mode.  Every line that you
type will be interpreted as an RJE command.  (For our example, the
command file is $STDINX). At this point, you should first define the
communications line with the RJLINE command.  In general, the most
commonly used syntax is:

     #RJLINE {2780};LINECODE={ASCII};CONNECT=DIAL,"telephone #";DEV=device id 
              {3780}         {EBCDIC}

You must first specify whether RJE should emulate either an IBM 2780 or
IBM 3780 remote station.  The LINECODE parameter allows you to
specify whether the ASCII or EBCDIC character code is used for data
transmission.  In communicating with an IBM host, you will probably want
LINECODE=EBCDIC. The CONNECT parameter tells RJE whether the HP 3000
console operator should dial the host or instructs the Automatic Calling
Unit (ACU) to dial the host automatically.  The telephone number may
include dashes.  The DEV parameter specifies either the logical device
number or device class of the communications line (RJE/V) or a linkname
in the NMCONFIG file (RJE/XL).

To continue with our example enter:

     #RJLINE 3780;LINECODE=EBCDIC;CONNECT=DIAL,"telephone #";DEV={ldev number}
                                                                 {device class}
                                                                 {linkname}
