Revises the priority of a submitted job or jobs.

Syntax

              BA    BA      I       I       IA    
NRJEAlter ( Wsid, Name, NameLen, NewPri, Result )

Parameters

Wsid

An eight-character input byte array. The Wsid parameter identifies your workstation. It must contain a left-justified alphanumeric name beginning with a letter. If the workstation identifier is less than eight characters long, it must be followed by blanks.

Name

An input byte array. The Name parameter identifies the job or set of jobs whose priority will be revised. The length of Name depends on the way it is used (see the NameLen parameter).

Identify the job or job set one of these ways:

  • By job name. Begin the Name string with a letter. Use up to eight alphanumeric characters.

    All jobs in your logon account. Use one @ character in Name to indicate that all jobs in your logon account will be revised.

  • For a specific job stream file. Use a spool file identification in the form nnnnn, where n is a digit.

  • For all files of a user. Follow MPE standards. Use the form UserName.AcctName with up to seventeen alphanumeric characters. Separate UserName from AcctName with a period (.).

    NOTE: If you are referring to a job that is different from your logon, you must have NM user capability.

    See Table 5-3 “Use of Name” in the NRJEJobInfo intrinsic description.

NameLen

An input integer variable. The NameLen parameter is the number of characters entered in the Name parameter, described above.

NewPri

An input integer variable. All jobs that are qualified by Name have their transmission priority revised to NewPri, which is from 0 through 14. The highest priority is 14.

Result

An eight-element integer output array (required). The Result array contains error codes that occurred during execution of this intrinsic.

The first element of the Result array is set to zero if no errors took place. The structure of the Result array is described in "Parameters Common to NRJE Intrinsics" in the introduction to this chapter.

Always test the first element of Result immediately after you call this intrinsic. If the first element of Result is not zero, test the other elements of Result to determine the nature of the problem that has occurred.

Description

Use NRJEAlter to revise the priority of jobs submitted from a Wsid but not transmitted to the host. Specify the job set in Name and the desired priority in NewPri. The NameLen parameter is the length of the string in Name. The consequences of NRJEAlter execution are returned in Result.
