The FSIREQ Macro
The FSIREQ macro enables communication to be established between
JES and the FSS/FSA. The following types
of communication can be established by invoking the FSIREQ macro.
- Connect the FSS/FSA to JES (CONNECT)
- Disconnect the FSS/FSA from JES (DISCONNECT)
- Get a SYSOUT data set from JES (GETDS)
- Get records for a SYSOUT data set (GETREC)
- Release records for a SYSOUT data set (FREEREC)
- Release a SYSOUT data set (RELDS)
- Write checkpoint information to spool (CHKPT)
- Send a response to JES (SEND)
- Notify the FSA that a request was completed (POST)
- Send an order to the FSS/FSA (ORDER)
The FSIREQ function dependent parameter lists are mapped by the IAZFSIP mapping macro. The FSS/FSA and JES use the FSIREQ parameter lists to pass information.
In addition to the information in the IAZFSIP macro, other information is passed in additional parameter lists pointed to by the IAZFSIP. The appendix describes these parameter lists and their relationship to the IAZFSIP macro.
This section describes the parameters on the FSIREQ macro and explains the rules for executing the macro. The specific values that the FSS and JES assign are discussed in the chapter specific to the task being performed.
