Binary Synchronous Communication Remote Job Processing

JES3 BSC supports the remote terminal processing (RTP) programs. These programs are available for systems that operate in BSC mode.

JES3 BSC RJP also supports BSC RJP work stations that have MULTI-LEAVING. MULTI-LEAVING is the fully synchronized two-directional transmission of a variable number of data streams between the work station and a processor.

Jobs submitted from BSC RJP terminals follow the same programming conventions as those established for jobs submitted locally. If standard job routing is used, the JES3 system automatically replaces conventional printing and punching with output terminal transmission. Output from remotely submitted jobs may be returned to any terminal specified by the submitter or may be processed locally. The standard operator console is supported as either a full- or limited-function remote operator console. Only one console is supported on each remote work station.

For BSC RJP, background utilities can be used between the central site and a BSC RJP workstation. The input unit on a nonprogrammable terminal must be used only for batch processing of jobs, but the output units are available for callable dynamic support programs (DSPs). The same applies to readers defined as automatic readers on the /*SIGNON card. The card reader (CR) DSP can be called to process input from a remote reader, and the writer (WTR) DSP can be called to send output to a remote printer or punch.
