RFC 499 HARVARD'S NETWORK RJE April 1 1973 Job Control and Routing Commands --- ------- --- ------- -------- Under CCN's job management system, the default destination for output is the input source. Thus, a job submitted under a given VRET will be returned to that VRBT (i.e., the same terminal ID), unless the user's JCL overrides the default destination. RJS places print and punch output destined for a particular remote terminal into either an Active Queue or a Deferred Queue. When the user opens his print or punch output channel (via the *PRINT command of RJE), RJS immediately starts sending job output from the Active Queue, and continues until this queue is empty. Job output in the Deferred Queue, on the other hand, must be called for by job name (via a RESET command from the remote operator) before RJS will send it. The Active/Deferred choice for output from a job is determined by the deferral status of the VRBT when the job is entered; the deferral status, which is set to the Active option when the user signs on, may be changed by the SET command. SET Allows the remote user to change certain properties of his VRBT for the duration of the current session (a) May change the default output destination to be another (real or virtual) RJS terminal or the central facility. (b) May change the deferral status of the VRBT. DEFER Moves the print and punch output for a specified job or set of jobs from the Active Queue to the Deferred Queue. If the job's output is in process of being transmitted over a channel, RJS aborts the channel and saves the current output location before moving the job to the Deferred Queue. A subsequent RESET command will return it to the Active Queue with an implied Backspace (BSP). RESET Moves specified job(s) from Deferred to Active Queue so they may be sent to user. A specific list of job names or all jobs can be moved with one RESET command. B. Reussow
