Chapter 8 671
Command Definitions SP-Z
STREAM
must always precede it with a delimiting comma, even when you omit the input file name
(the first parameter). In the following example, an asterisk (*) is used as a substitute
command identifier:
STREAM ,*
>*JOB USER.TECHPUBS
>*FORTGO MYPROG
*EOJ
*#J74
*>:
:
If your job input file contains subsystem commands, such as commands directed to the
editor, do not enter any command identifier character at the beginning of these commands.
For instance, when using the editor, enter the subsystem commands as follows:
STREAM EXAMPLE
!JOB WXYZ,WRITER.TEC
!EDITOR
TEXT ABC
n
EXIT
!EOJ
#J87
:
In the preceding example, the job input file is EXAMPLE which initiates the job WXYZ. WXYZ
invokes the editor subsystem where the file ABC is referenced. The EOJ command
terminates the job and #J87 is the job number assigned by MPE/iX.
If you want the job listing to appear on a device other than the standard listing device
associated with the streaming device, you can specify this other device in the MPE/iX JOB
command. Enter:
STREAM
>!JOB USER.TECHPUBS;OUTCLASS=12
The following section contains additional examples of using the STREAM command. For
these examples, assume that the current date and time are Monday, June 8, 1987, 12:00
p.m. Also assume the job file contains a valid STREAM job.
STREAM JOBFILE JOBFILE will be introduced immediately.
STREAM JOBFILE; AT=8:00 JOBFILE will be introduced at 8:00 a.m., Tuesday, June 9.
STREAM JOBFILE; AT=20:00 JOBFILE will be introduced at 8:00 p.m., Monday, June 8.
STREAM JOBFILE; IN=,8 JOBFILE will be introduced in eight hours, at 8:00 p.m.,
Monday, June 8.
STREAM JOBFILE; IN=1,8 JOBFILE will be introduced in one day plus eight hours, at
8:00 p.m., Tuesday, June 9.
STREAM JOBFILE; DAY=MON;
AT=8:00 Since the time specified (8:00 a.m.) is earlier than the current time,
JOBFILE will be introduced at 8:00 a.m., Monday, June 15.
