Purpose: Use the /*SIGNON statement to tell JES3 to begin a remote job stream processing session. The /*SIGNON statement can override the remote identification number normally assigned to the remote work station. This statement is optional for all work stations except non-multi-leaving remote stations on a switched line.

Systems network architecture (SNA) remote work stations must use the LOGON command instead of the /*SIGNON statement to notify JES3 of a connection request.

References: For information on the LOGON command, see z/OS JES3 Initialization and Tuning Reference and z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programming.
