Description

The editor does not supply a job statement when you enter the SUBMIT command. You can supply job statements as part of the data being submitted. When you supply a job statement, only the job name is logged to the ISPF log data set to ensure the protection of sensitive data.

If the file being edited is described as ASCII or UTF-8 then the data submitted to the internal reader is converted to EBCDIC.

PDF uses TSO SUBMIT to submit the job.

Return codes

0: Normal completion
20: Severe error (submit failed)
