MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volume I

ACCEPT 

Permits a designated device to accept jobs/sessions and/or data.

Syntax 

ACCEPT [JOBS],ldev 
       [DATA]
Parameters 

JOBS                  The designated device recognizes the JOB and HELLO
                      commands.  The device must be interactive to
                      support sessions.

DATA                  The designated device recognizes the DATA command.
                      Data-accepting devices are not supported.

                      __________________________________________________ 

                      NOTE  If you omit both the JOBS and the DATA
                            parameters, then both the JOB and HELLO
                            commands, and the DATA command are allowed.

                      __________________________________________________ 

ldev                  The logical device number of the device for which
                      the JOB, HELLO, and/or DATA commands are being
                      enabled.

Operation Notes 

The operator or system supervisor uses this command to designate which
devices may be used to initiate jobs or sessions and/or data.  When a
device is configured as an accepting device, MPE/iX automatically scans
the first input record for a valid JOB, HELLO, or DATA command.  This
feature, called auto-recognition, allows users to access the device
without specifically requesting use of the device with a message to the
system console.

If you explicitly specify the JOBS parameter, the ACCEPT command is not
executed unless the device is configured as a default output device.

Use 

This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break has no effect on this command.  It is executable only from
the console unless distributed to users with the ALLOW command.
