[] ... HOST CONSOLE COMMAND

Description

The host command prefix character and a console mode prompt are configured options in NRJE. They are entered in the NRJE Configuration: Workstation Data screen. The configured host command prefix character must be consistent with what is configured on the host system. See the SNA Link Services Reference Manual (for MPE V) or the SNA NRJE Node Manager's Guide (for MPE XL) for configuration information.

	NOTE: If you are connected to a VSE/POWER host system, the host expects no command prefix. NRJE does require a prefix with each command, however, to recognize that the string you enter is a VSE/POWER command. NRJE strips off the command prefix before sending it to the VSE/POWER host.

Entering a command string that begins with the host command character enables you to issue a host job entry system command. If your workstation is communicating with the host system and you have access to the console, your command is transmitted. If you have not obtained the console (see the CONSOLE command earlier in this chapter) before issuing a host command, NRJE obtains it for you. While in console mode, the configurable console mode prompt is displayed instead of the standard workstation prompt. To relinquish access to the host remote console, use the RELEASE command.

NRJE does not check the syntax of the command.

Check the IBM documentation that applies to your host installation for the commands available and the syntax you must use. A list of IBM documents is in the preface of the SNA NRJE User/Programmer Reference Manual.

Example

R22>$DA                            Display all active jobs for a workstation.
                                   Two NRJE subsystem messages follow.
OPENING CONSOLE IN PROGRESS ... (CI=780)
HOST CONSOLE IS OPEN.  (CI=858)
 
 
10.01.14 JOB  753 $HASP608 XPRTRUN5 EXECUTING I PRIO  6 IPO1
10.01.14 JOB  754 $HASP608 XPRTRUN6 EXECUTING I PRIO  6 IPO1

This example shows that you can issue a host job entry subsystem command without issuing a CONSOLE command.

Text Reference

NRJESendCmd is the manager intrinsic counterpart of this command; it is described in the SNA NRJE User/Programmer Reference Manual.
