If NJE transactions have been suspended from JES3 to BDT (see F,JES3 command), the V,JES3,ONLINE command will allow suspended NJE transactions to resume.
You might want to issue this command before doing a JES3 dynamic system interchange (DSI). Your system programmer will tell you if it is necessary.
This command has no effect in a JES2 complex.
