This chapter details the procedures you follow to use SNA NRJE to receive output from jobs you have submitted to your host system.

The topics discussed are as follows:

  • Job output handling, including a number of general considerations that apply to all output received from the host.

  • Job management, by which final destination of output can be controlled when a job is submitted for transmission to the host.

  • Output management, by which the final destination of output can be controlled through the use of a Lookup Table.

  • Handling spooled output.

  • Handling unsolicited output.

Output from a job can be received from a host whenever communication is established between an NRJE workstation and a host.

NOTE: If you are connected to a VSE/POWER host system, all output must be requested. That is, a VSE/POWER command, START LSTn,class must be issued either from the console (if it is owned) or in your transmitted file before the first VSE/POWER JECL or VSE JCL JOB card. Submitting this command allows output data sets to be transmitted via the VSE/POWER list task, LSTn. The list tasks for VSE/POWER control printer output entering the list queue. Similarly, for punch output, a punch task must be started (START PUNn,class) to get the output to be returned to your NRJE workstation. class is an alphabetic character indicating output class to be handled by the started device. Multiple classes can be specified in a single command. See the IBM publication VSE/POWER Remote Entry User's Guide for additional information.

Note that if the command is issued from the console mode, you must precede it with the host console command prefix as configured in the NMMGR Workstation Data screen. If the command is embedded in a submitted job stream, you must precede it with the character string * D . . D where D is a required space.

Job output can be directed to any output device that is supported on your HP 3000. These include laser printers, line printers, and disk and tape files. These devices can be spooled or non-spooled.

Job management is the ability to specify the final destination of the output at the time the job is submitted to NRJE to be transmitted. These procedures are described under "Job Management with the SUBMIT Command" later in this chapter.

Output management is the ability to route output by specifying special forms for output data sets using file equation records in a Lookup Table. These procedures are described under "Output Management with the Lookup Table" later in this chapter.
