Setting up a periodic display of outstanding requests

If your system includes JES2, you can have the system periodically display outstanding requests so that you always know how many there are.

You can set up such a periodic display through the JES2 automatic command facility, telling JES2 to issue a command at a defined interval. (The minimum time interval you can specify is 30 seconds.) You must use the $TA JES2 command to define both the command you want issued and the number of seconds in the interval between commands. To cause JES2 to issue a DISPLAY R command every 60 seconds and to direct the command output to display area B of CONSD, issue the following command:

$TA,I=60,'$VS,''D R,L,L=CONSD-B'''

Note: Put this command in the JES2 initialization data set so that it is issued automatically once JES2 is initialized.

You use the $ZA JES2 command to temporarily stop JES2 from issuing the defined commands. You use the $SA command to cause JES2 to resume issuing the defined commands. Use the $CA command to cancel both the defined commands and time interval:

$CAxxxx

where xxxx is the ID of the periodic display.
