Virtual Terminal

Using the Remote Subsystem from a Batch Job

Using the Remote Subsystem from a Batch

Job

While in a batch job, you can establish a remote session by using the

DSLINE or REMOTE HELLO command. The job streamed may be similar

to the following (local and remote prompts are shown for clarity):

JOB USER.ACCOUNT

:DSLINE REMOTE2

:REMOTE HELLO RUSER.RACCOUNT

:REMOTE

#FILE OUT;DEV=LP

#BUILD WORK;DISC=50

#RUN USERPROG

#PURGE WORK

:REMOTE BYE

:DSLINE;CLOSE

:EOJ

NOTE The remote # prompt is optional. It allows you to more easily identify

remote commands in a job stream.

Remember that once a remote session has been established, it interacts

with the job in the same way as it would interact with a terminal. If the

remote session detects an error, the error will be printed to $STDLIST.

If the error generates a user prompt, the next record in the job ﬁle is

read as the response (in the same manner as waiting for a character or

[Return] on a terminal). That record is then lost to the job.
