SNAplus2 RJE Components and Operation
Processing Input Data
Chapter 3 43
When the RJE workstation runs, it accesses the job spool. If any jobs are
in the queue, the workstation sends them to the host for processing in
the order in which they are spooled.
Once the workstation has successfully sent a job to the host, it removes
this job from the spool. You can use the RJE console program to view
messages from the host relating to the job and to issue host commands if
necessary. You can use the console program at any time while the
SNAplus2 control daemon is running. For more information, see
Chapter 5, “SNAplus2 RJE Console Program.”
Record Lengths
Host Job Entry Subsystems normally handle data as punch data in
80-byte default record lengths. Some host systems can handle exchange
data, which is normally in 128-byte default record lengths. Other host
systems can accept either punch data or exchange data with record
lengths other than these defaults.
SNAplus2 RJE provides a command-line option with the snaprjesend
command to specify whether the data is punch or exchange data and to
override the default record lengths. The -m n option specifies that the
record length of the job file can be n bytes. The range is 80 - 248.
Example:
snaprjesend -m100 RJE1 myjob
This command sends the file myjob as punch data with a maximum
record length of 100 bytes.
Sending Exchange Data
The host systems that handle exchange data (normally in 128-byte
record lengths) , require that such data be marked as “exchange data” to
distinguish it from punch data, (normally in 80-byte records.)
When submitting jobs as exchange data, use the -e option with the
snaprjesend command to indicate that you are submitting exchange
data. Use the -mn option to indicate the record length if the record
length is different from the default.
The following examples show the commands for sending exchange data:
snaprjesend -e RJE1 myjob
