The RJE console program enables you to do the following:
Enter host JES commands, and view the host's responses.
View earlier console information (both commands that you have entered and output from the host).
Perform a temporary exit to the Solaris command prompt, leaving the console program running.
These options are described in the following sections.
The console program enables you to enter commands to the host job entry subsystem(JES). The syntax of these commands is defined by the host; refer to your host JES documentation for more information about the commands you can use.
To enter a host command, simply type the text of the command; it appears on the reverse-video command input area at the bottom of the console screen. Press Enter to send the command; it is echoed on the console screen and removed from the command input area.
If you make a mistake while typing the command, you can correct it using the following keys:
Deletes one character to the left
Deletes a character
Moves to the left
Moves to the right
Moves to the start of the line
Moves to the end of the line
Clears the command input area without sending the command, so that you can start again
Toggles between Insert mode and Replace mode. In Insert mode, a character you type is inserted at the current cursor position. In Replace mode, a character you type overwrites the character at the current cursor position. The status line displays the indicator INSERT or REPLACE to remind you which mode you are in.
The console program retains the text of up to ten previous command so that you can repeat a previous command without having to type it in again. You can use Ctrl + P (previous command) and Ctrl + O (next command) to browse through the available commands, each command in turn displaying on the command input area. Press Enter to issue the displayed command, or use the editing keys to change the text of the command before you issue it.
When you first start the console program, the indicator FOLLOW appears at the right-hand end of the status line; this indicates that the console is in Follow mode, displaying the most recent console information. As more messages are received from the host, or as you type further commands, the screen display scrolls so that the most recent information is displayed.
You can use the console program to browse through previous console activity by using the following keystrokes:
Scrolls the display back one line
Scrolls the display forward one line
Scrolls back one screen
Scrolls forward one screen
Returns to the earliest available information
Returns to the latest available information
While you are browsing through previous console information, the status line displays the indicator BROWSE instead of FOLLOW. The display is now in Browse mode instead of Follow mode. When you move forward to the end of the available information (either by using End, or by scrolling forward until you reach the end), the console automatically returns to Follow mode, and the indicator changes from BROWSE back to FOLLOW.
While in Browse mode, host messages continue to be received and stored; however, you are limited to browsing back through a fixed amount of previous output. The limit is twice the maximum console log file size, as specified in the workstation style file (see The RJE Workstation Style File, for more information); the default is 2 x 10,000 bytes. If you stay in Browse mode while more than this amount of information is received from the host, then some of the data will be lost. When you move forward past the lost data, the message 'DATA LOST' is displayed to indicate this.
You can enter host commands whether the console is in Browse mode or in Follow mode. However, commands and the host responses to them are always added to the end of the available console information; therefore, in Browse mode, they are not visible on the screen until you move towards the end of the file. If you need to see the screen display of a command and the host's response as soon as you issue it, return to Follow mode by moving to the end of the available console information before you issue the command.
While you are using the console program, your screen display may become corrupted if other processes write to it or if characters are lost due to line transmission problems. To redraw the screen display, use Ctrl + R. This does not affect any command data you have entered.
To
move temporarily from the console program to a command prompt, leaving the
console program running, use the TEMPEXIT keystroke, Ctrl + Z.
This starts a new Solaris shell of the type specified by the
You can then issue any other commands as required. For example, if you start the console program and find that the RJE workstation is not running, you can start the workstation from a temporary exit shell. You can also issue other Solaris commands not related to SNAP-IX.
To return to the console program from a temporary exit, use the Solaris end-of-file (EOF) key sequence for your terminal (typically Ctrl + D).
