That is true, but it is still a second action required after the JCL is submitted. Issuing the command requires use of a different interface (SDSF or (E)JES).
I probably should have known better than to interject in a Shmuel/Gil discussion. :) > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Skip Robinson > Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 11:45 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Reflexivity (was: NJE Clarifications) > > A job can routed for execution to another NJE node by JES command.
