Parameters

nodename
Specifies the name of a remote node. JES3 sends the specified command to this node.
system-command
Specifies the text of a system command. JES3 sends this command to the specified remote node.

Rules

You can enter this command from any console. Replies are returned to the console where the command was submitted.

You must enter the command text in a format that is acceptable to the receiving node.

You can issue only the following commands to nodes that are using JES3 (unless other commands have been authorized by an installation exit at the specified node:
*I,J=jobno or jobname
Use to determine the status of a job that was submitted at your node. If you want to modify a job, use this command with the J=jobname parameter to obtain the job number required in the *MODIFY command.
*I,B
Use to obtain statistics for the number of jobs waiting to be processed by each JES3 function, for jobs that were submitted at your node.
*I,Q,N=nnn | ALL
Use to display the status of nnn or all jobs in the JES3 job queue that were submitted at your node.
*F,J=jobno,H|R|C|CP|CO
Use to hold, release, or cancel a job that was submitted at your node. If you enter this command from an RJP workstation, the job must have originated at that workstation. Use the *I,J=jobname command to obtain the job number.

For descriptions of the commands you can issue to a node using JES2, see z/OS JES2 Commands.

For descriptions of the commands you can issue to a node using VM, see RSCS Networking Operator's Manual.

Result

  • JES3 sends the specified command to the designated remote node to be processed and returns any messages issued by the command to your console. These messages are in the format of the subsystem that issued the message.

Examples

Cancel job ABC which is running on remote node CHI. Print any output that has been generated by the job:
*SEND,CHI,*I,J=ABC
Obtain the job number assigned to job ABC in the remote node CHI:
*T,CHI,*F,J=1234,CP
Inquire on the status of the job named DEF. The job is running on remote node SFO and node SFO is using JES2:
*T,SFO,$D 'DEF'
Display the names of the RSCS files that are queued for transmission to this node (POK) from the VM node BOS:
*T,BOS,QUERY,POK,QUEUE
