Stages in Processing a Job
To use RJE, all you need to do is start the RJE workstation and submit a
job. The RJE workstation sends the job to the host and receives and
routes the host output. Following are the stages involved in submitting
and processing a job. These stages explain how RJE operates and shows
all the facilities available to you.
Step 1. Create the job file.
Create a job file that contains the instructions required by the host. This
file may include all of the exact data required by the host, or it may
contain control lines to modify the source data. The section, “Contents of
a Job File”, which appears later in this chapter, explains the format of
this file.
Step 2. Add the job to the workstation's job spool.
Use the snaprjesend command to submit the job to a host for
processing. This command does not immediately cause the job to be sent
to the host, but adds it to a spool of jobs waiting to be sent by the RJE
workstation.
For more information on this command, see “Processing Input Data”,
later in this chapter and in Chapter 4, “SNAplus2 RJE Commands.”
Step 3. See whether the job has been sent.
While the job is waiting on the spool, you can use the snaprjelst
command to list all the jobs you have submitted, or snaprjecan to cancel
a queued job.
For more information on these commands, see “Processing Input Data”,
later in this chapter and in Chapter 4, “SNAplus2 RJE Commands.”
Step 4. Run the RJE workstation.
Start the RJE workstation program if it is not already running when you
submit the job.
Note that each RJE workstation should be configured to run on a
particular SNAplus2 computer, which may be either a server or a client.
You can start the workstation only on its configured computer, and you
