SUBMIT()

Use the SUBMIT() function to submit a job stream to the JES2 internal reader.

Syntax

The SUBMIT() function has this syntax:

SUBMIT([stem.])

Arguments

The SUBMIT() function takes this argument:

stem.

Root name of a stem variable containing the card images to be submitted, including the period. This should be enclosed in quotation marks.

Usage Notes

• If you omit the stem argument, the contents of the current stack are sent to the internal reader.
• The stem variables cannot be global; that is, they cannot begin with an ampersand (&). For information on global variables, see the Administration Guide.
• The card images are processed in the order the stem variables were created.
• To reuse stem variables (with fewer lines), use the REXX DROP command for the stem. This deletes the entire stem group and allows you to create a set with fewer variables.

The SUBMIT() function produces these return codes:

101

ARG 1 MISSING OR INVALID
