A job can routed for execution to another NJE node by JES command. If there happens to a SYSAFF card, the job might not run until the SYSAFF name is changed or nullified, but JES commands allow a job or its output to be sent anywhere in the network by operator command.

Using FTP, I can submit a given JCL deck to any host I have access to and authority to run. I can do this without making changes to the JCL itself. Localhost is a valid target for my FTP PUT. I haven't actually used NJE much, but I don't think it supports changing the NJE target from outside the JCL deck. The /*ROUTE XEQ (inside the JCL deck) is the method for specifying the target node. On the other hand, /*ROUTE XEQ LOCAL seems equivalent to an FTP open localhost, and a put of a JCL deck to JES. :) > > > Cheers,,,Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
