Parameters

nnnn|*
The subscript defining the RJE or NJE lines that are started. The subscript may specify a specific value or a range of values.

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

  • To start a line for an SNA remote workstation, you must know how the system programmer defined your RJE network (the terminals and lines) in the JES2 initialization procedure; that is, you must know which workstations can use which lines. Ask the system programmer for this information.
  • JES2 cannot be withdrawn from the system until all lines are drained (see the $P LINE(nnnn) command).

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 current status of the specified line(s).

The $HASP626 message indicates that the unit device has not been specified or is invalid.

The $HASP627 message indicates that the unit device has been specified, but is unavailable.

Example

 1   $s line(1-2)

  $HASP880 LINE1  UNIT=0C14,STATUS=INACTIVE
  $HASP880 LINE2  UNIT=SNA,STATUS=INACTIVE

JES2 starts lines 1 and 2, if they are not already started.
