2.10 Usage Notes

RJE is typically used for standard job entry and for text file storage and retrieval. Use the following SNAP-IX RJE features and configuration for these tasks:

Standard RJE Job Entry

To submit a job and receive printed output (standard RJE), do the following:

  • Submit the job without using the option, so the JCL and data are both translated to EBCDIC.

  • Route the output to a printer, with code conversion selected, so that the output is translated back to ASCII.

Text File Storage and Retrieval

To send a text file to the host for storage and then retrieve it later, do the following:

  • Submit the job that sends the data to the host without using the option, so the text is translated to EBCDIC. This enables the text to be accessed by a host editor.

  • Route the output from the job that receives the file to a punch or exchange device, with code conversion and 'NL between records' selected, so that the output is translated back to a standard ASCII text file.
