Subject: Re: Bad JOB card through NJE

<SNIPAGE>

Steve,

I think I understand your issue, but to muddy the water (a little) we
also transmitted (and received) jobs to dos again this was ages ago so
something might have changed, I have not kept up with the issues since
then. We transmitted to just about every IBM platform out there (except
SERIES 1) and another that is blanked out of my memory at the
moment) but any IBM system that talked NJE we probably transmitted (and
received) data to and we did it on a daily basis. Sorry about the
omission earlier but IIRC we had 1 dos system. The more primitive the
system it was harder for set up, IMO. Once it was set up it worked
PERIOD.

Ok, I know what you are talking about. I have done NJE/RJE with DOS/VS
and above. I have managed to be involved with a similar situation with
JES2 <-> JES3.

The problem here, in my opinion, is that JES2 does not ensure that the
JOB "card" is fully valid. It then sends it to the other JES2 node. That
node gets it (for some reason minus the ACEE), and then it can't find
the security profile for that JOB. And it can't do it because rather
than coding USER it was coded with USERID. So it is actually being
failed for SYNTAX. But the error message is a security error.

It is my position, that I would like appropriately challenged if one
exists, that JES2 should have "fully" processed the JOB card on the
original system before executing the JES2 command to SEND the JOB. If
the JOB card is syntactically in error, the JOB should be failed on the
system were submitted as would be the case if that were also the
execution system. 

Regards,
Steve Thompson
