JESNEWS DSP

JES3 provides a special utility program that allows you to broadcast information to local, TSO/E, and RJP users.

You can use the JESNEWS DSP to create, to replace, or to delete three special output data sets that can be included as part of a normal output data set burst page.

The JESNEWS DSP works on three types of data sets: local, TSO/E and RJP. Use these data sets to send information to JES3 users. This utility, dynamic support program (DSP), can be run at the same time as the other support functions of JES3, such as input service and the main device scheduler. You can start the DSP at an operator console by using the *CALL command.

Attention: If parameters or keywords are incorrectly specified on the *CALL command for the utility DSP, unpredictable results can occur.

You can end processing of the JESNEWS DSP by entering the following command:

*C,JESNEWS

You cannot use the JES3 utility DSP on the IBM® AFP Printing Subsystem or with PSF printers.

If your installation uses RACF® to protect JES3 spool, you must logon at the lowest security level in your installation in order to update JESNEWS. See z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide for a description of RACF security levels.
