Processing Output Data
This section explains how an RJE workstation handles the output
returned to it by the host and the options that are available for
processing and routing host output.
The SNAplus2 RJE configuration determines some of the options for
controlling output for a particular RJE workstation. This section
explains those options and the use of the usr card. See your System
Administrator if you are not sure how your RJE workstation handles
output data, or if you want to change the configuration.
Host Output Devices
SNAplus2 RJE supports three types of host output devices:
• Printers
• Punches
• Exchange devices
The host uses different types of devices for different types of output.
Printers are used for data formatted by the host (with control
information such as horizontal and vertical tabs); punches and exchange
devices are used for unformatted data (such as data files), transferred as
records.
The host configuration for an RJE workstation includes a number of
printer devices, punch devices, and/or exchange devices. A number
identifies different devices within each device type:
• 1 to n printers
• 1 to n punches
• 1 to n exchange devices
When sending output, the host specifies (by number and device type) a
particular printer, punch, or exchange device to which it is sending the
output.
The SNAplus2 RJE configuration for an RJE workstation also includes
printer and punch devices identified by numbers. The different
configuration options available for each of these devices reflect the
