Parameters 

hostid                An alphanumeric name which identifies a host
                      machine.  MRJE uses only the first character of the
                      name in its message to users.

START                 Used to open the communications line in an orderly
                      fashion.

SIGNOFF               Used to close the communications line in an orderly
                      fashion.

KILL                  Immediately disconnects the link to the system.
                      Should be used in emergencies only, as error-free
                      recovery is not certain.

RETRIES               Used to regulate the number of times MRJE will
                      repeat a failed attempt to receive a block of data
                      from the host.

retryum               An integer 1 to 255, inclusive.  Used by the
                      RETRIES command.

CHECK                 Prints a matrix of all MRJE modules and their
                      internal fix levels.

TRACE, ON             Activates the CS/3000 TRACE facility to provide a
                      record of communications activity.

ALL                   Generates trace records for all line activity.
                      Default.  Records are written only for transmission
                      errors.

mask                  An octal number preceded by a percent sign (%nn).
                      Used to select type of trace entries generated.
                      Refer to MRJE/3000 Reference Manual for an
                      explanation of the mask bits.  Default is 37%, (all
                      except STN).

numentries            Decimal integer for the maximum number of entries
                      in a trace record; maximum of 248.  Default is 24.

WRAP                  Causes trace entries that overflow the trace record
                      (that exceeds "numentries") to overlay the first
                      entry written to that record.

filename              Name of file where trace records are to be written.
                      Default is MRJETRCh.PUB.SYS, (where "h" is the
                      first character of the "hostid".)

TRACE, OFF            Deactivates TRACE facility.

Operation Notes 

Unless MRJECONTROL is issued from the master console, users are granted
access only if they are allowed to use the command (this happens with the
ALLOW command).  You can open and close the MRJE/3000 communications link
with one or more hosts, change the number of transmission error retries,
turn on the CS/3000 TRACE diagnostic, and check the internal fix levels
of all the MRJE modules.

Examples 

To open the MRJE line and trace transmission errors, enter:

     MRJECONTROL START,B;TRACE ON 

The letter "B" is the host identification (hostid).

To close down the MRJE line, enter:

     MRJECONTROL SIGNOFF
