Introduction

Job Output

Output from a job is automatically received from a host whenever communication is established between a workstation and a host. You do not need to issue an NRJE subsystem command or related intrinsic to receive your job output.

Job output can be directed to any output device that is supported by your HP 3000. These include laser printers, line printers, and disk and tape files. These devices can be spooled or non-spooled, but the default output device for your workstation, as configured in the NMMGR Workstation Data Page 2 screen, must be spooled. Control of the final destination can be determined either at the time your job is submitted for transmission to the host, or after the output has been returned from the host. Chapter 4 “Job Output” describes job output, including the following:

Workstation Identification

Whenever you enter NRJE, you can identify a workstation to serve as the default identifier for all subsequent subsystem commands. The following is an example:

:NRJE RMT11                 This MPE command invokes NRJE for workstation RMT11.
 
product number version number NJRE (C) HEWLETT-PACKARD CO. copyright year
 
NRJE WELCOME MESSAGE
 
                 The NRJE welcome message is configured by the 
                 SNA node manager or provided by an NRJE manager.RMT11>SUBMIT infile
 
                 The NRJE subsystem SUBMIT command prepares 
                 infile for the default workstation, RMT11.
 
JOB SUCCESSFULLY SUBMITTED. THE SPOOL FILE IS:
#O ...
 
                 NRJE sends you a message once the SUBMIT 
                 command has completed.
 
RMT11> ...
 
                 Other NRJE commands follow.
 
RMT11>SUBMIT infile;WSID=RMT99
 
                 This NRJE subsystem SUBMIT command prepares
                 infile for workstation RMT99 even though the 
                 default workstation is RMT11.
 
JOB SUCCESSFULLY SUBMITTED.  THE SPOOL FILE IS:
#O ...
 
                 NRJE sends you a message once the SUBMIT command 
                 has completed.
 
RMT11> ...
 
                 Other NRJE commands follow. 

Both "Command Structure" and command descriptions in this chapter describe how some NRJE subsystem commands can override the default workstation identifier.

Access Methods

You can access NRJE two ways: interactively and programmatically.

Interactive access is through the NRJE subsystem command interpreter. Use NRJE this way from your terminal or from a streamed job. Interactive commands have a simple format and provide the most common parameter values as defaults. As a convenience, abbreviations and a flexible range of parameter values are supported.

Programmatic access allows your program to call NRJE intrinsics. Most NRJE commands have a corresponding intrinsic so that, for example, the submission of a large number of jobs can be done programmatically. This access method can also be used to build an alternate subsystem command interface for a workstation, or a background operator interface to a workstation.

MPE Commands

When running NRJE interactively you can execute many MPE commands in the middle of NRJE operations. Enter an MPE command preceded by a colon (:), and the command will be passed to the MPE command interpreter. Many MPE commands can be entered without preceding them with a colon, if they are not members of the NRJE command set. The following is an example of how to enter an MPE command:

RMT11>...             Some NRJE command.
 
RMT11>:LISTF         List the file names in your logon group and account.
 
RMT11>...            Another NRJE command.

You could have entered LISTF without preceding it with a colon, because it is not an NRJE subsystem command.

Subsystem Command Limits

Each subsystem command is limited to 256 characters. If a command requires more than one line, the command can be continued by ending the line with an ampersand (&).
