Network Job Entry Formats and Protocols explains the Network Job Entry (NJE) formats and protocols used by program products that support networking.
For product-related material, consult the product libraries.
Organization of this information
Network Job Entry Formats and Protocols is divided into the following topics:
Introduces the concepts needed to understand the material in the remaining chapters. This topic defines a network and describes the 5 layers of networking.
Describes the format of the control blocks used to transmit data across the network.
Discusses the content and format of the job header field.
Discusses the content and format of the data set header field.
Discusses the content and format of the job trailer field.
Discusses the content and format of the NJE nodal message records.
Discusses the content and format of the networking connection control records.
Discusses how the networking protocols span, compress, and compact data to be transmitted through transmission buffers.
Discusses the multileaving functions of SNA, BSC, and CTC.
Discusses establishing or terminating a connection between two nodes.
Discusses SNA, BSC, and CTC protocol sequences for initialization, normal processing, and termination between nodes. This topic also discusses error-recovery processing for each of the protocols.
Describes system-dependent considerations and deviations from the protocols described in this information.
Defines the abbreviations and terms used in this information.
