Using SIGNON through the Batch Interface

To use the SIGNON command from the batch interface, perform the following steps:
  1. Place the command in the DGADBATC job stream as described in Sample Job Stream to Run the Batch Interface.
  2. Submit the job while is running. If you are using the Extended Submit Facility (ESF), the DTF does not need to be active for the SIGNON command to process.
    The following example shows a SIGNON command in which the user specifies a pre-allocated temporary data set named MYUID1.TEMP.DSN which resides on SYSDA. The accounting data is specified for the PNODE and SNODE. 
    SIGNON    NETMAP=DALLAS.NETMAP  -
   USERID=(MYUID1,MYPSWD) -
   PACCT='JOB FOR SYSMAINT, DEPT.27, MARKETING' -
   SACCT='JOB FOR INVENTRY, DEPT.55, ACCOUNTING' -
   TMPDSN='MYUID1.TEMP.DSN' -
   UNIT=SYSDA
