RMT(nnnnn) - SNA RJE Workstation

The RMT(nnnnn) statement specifies the characteristics of one RJE workstation. The following descriptions apply to the characteristics of a SNA remote terminal. For a description of the BSC RJE workstation, see RMT(nnnnn) - BSC RJE Workstation.

Specify a RMT(nnnnn) statement for each RJE workstation to be defined. RJE workstations can be numbered from RMT(1) to RMT(32767). You can use the subscript to specify a specific remote terminal (nnnnn), a range of terminals (n-*) indicating n to the highest numbered terminal (32767), or all terminals (*). This remote remains defined unless the RMT(nnnnn) device parameters NUMPRT=, NUMPUN=, and NUMRDR= are all set to zero, and CONS=NO thereby setting the device count to zero. All remote definitions are ignored if no LINEs are defined.

An RJE workstation can be defined with all defaults if you specify a RMT statement that contains no operands.

Note: Effectively, the defaults specify this remote as a 2770 BSC RJE workstation with no features, not a SNA RJE workstation.

You don't have to define each RJE workstation to each member of your MAS. You only need to define each RJE workstation to one member of your MAS; however, be sure that each workstation has a unique subscript number (nnnnn in RMT(nnnnn). For example, if you define RMT(13) on one member as a SNA LUTYPE1, RMT(13) should not be defined on any other member.

If an RJE workstation has attached devices, use the following initialization statements to describe their characteristics:
  • R(nnnnn).PR(m)--specifies remote printer characteristics
  • R(nnnnn).PU(m)--specifies remote punch characteristics
  • R(nnnnn).RD(m)--specifies remote card reader characteristics

JES2 associates devices with RJE workstations by correlating the nnnnn in the above three statements to the nnnnn in an RMT(nnnnn) statement. SNA RJE workstation characteristics are specified by the following parameters.
