Parameters

nnnnn: Specifies the subscript that defines the restarted lines. The subscript can specify a specific value or a range of values. For information about specifying ranges for this subscript, see Command syntax conventions.
You can also specify wild cards. See Using filtering to control and display information for additional information.
CONNECT=(Yes|No|DEFAULT,interval): Specifies whether an NJE connection is automatically attempted for this line. If DEFAULT is specified, processing uses the CONNECT=(YES|NO) value that is specified on the associated NODE statement. The interval is the approximate time (in minutes) between attempted connections. The valid range for interval is 0 to 1440. A value of 0 indicates that the default interval (from NJEDEF CONNECT=) is used.

Authority Required

This command requires device authority. The description of the $T RDRnn command explains how to ensure that the authority of the appropriate MVS™ system command group is assigned.

This command requires control security access authority. For a description of assigning command input authority, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide, SA32-0991.

Processing Considerations

Any input currently being transmitted over the specified line immediately stops, and the partial input is purged. Any output being transmitted over the line is placed on the output queue. When the job is again selected for printing, the printer backspaces 1 page before resuming processing. When the job is again selected for punching, punching resumes at the last JES2 checkpoint.

The NJE node or JES2 remote workstation currently signed on to the restarted line is disconnected. If the line status was active, new JES2 remote workstations can sign on to the line or it can be used for networking (through the $S N command). If the line status was draining (for example, after $P LINE(nnnnn)), the line becomes drained and unusable for JES2 I/O until the operator starts it again. For an NJE line, $E negates the effect of a $S N,LINE(nnnnn) command; that is, it stops attempts to sign on to another node.

Note: If the line status remains draining because an I/O device missed an interrupt, you must issue a second $E LINE(nnnnn) command to restart the line.

Scope

Single member. This command will be in effect for this member only. There is no need to have this command issued to all members of the MAS.

Messages

The $HASP880 message displays the status of the specified lines and their current characteristics.
