$E LINE(nnnnn) - Restart line activity
Function
To stop and restart the current activity on an RJE or NJE line.
Syntax
Parameters
- nnnnn
- Specifies the subscript that defines the
restarted lines. The subscript can specify a specific value or a range
of values. For information about specifying ranges for this subscript,
see Command syntax conventions.
You can also specify wild cards. See Using filtering to control and display information for additional information.
- CONNECT=(Yes|No|DEFAULT,interval)
- Specifies whether an NJE connection is automatically attempted for this line. If DEFAULT is specified, processing uses the CONNECT=(YES|NO) value that is specified on the associated NODE statement. The interval is the approximate time (in minutes) between attempted connections. The valid range for interval is 0 to 1440. A value of 0 indicates that the default interval (from NJEDEF CONNECT=) is used.
Authority Required
This command requires device authority. The description of the $T RDRnn command explains how to ensure that the authority of the appropriate MVS™ system command group is assigned.
This command requires control security access authority. For a description of assigning command input authority, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide.
Processing Considerations
Any input currently being transmitted over the specified line immediately stops, and the partial input is purged. Any output being transmitted over the line is placed on the output queue. When the job is again selected for printing, the printer backspaces 1 page before resuming processing. When the job is again selected for punching, punching resumes at the last JES2 checkpoint.
The NJE node or JES2 remote workstation currently signed on to the restarted line is disconnected. If the line status was active, new JES2 remote workstations can sign on to the line or it can be used for networking (through the $S N command). If the line status was draining (for example, after $P LINE(nnnnn)), the line becomes drained and unusable for JES2 I/O until the operator starts it again. For an NJE line, $E negates the effect of a $S N,LINE(nnnnn) command; that is, it stops attempts to sign on to another node.
Scope
Single member. This command will be in effect for this member only. There is no need to have this command issued to all members of the MAS.
Messages
The $HASP880 message displays the status of the specified lines and their current characteristics.
