SUBMIT()

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

The SUBMIT() function has this syntax:

SUBMIT([stem.])

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.

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

One of the following:

ARG 1 MISSING OR INVALID

STEM VARIABLE NOT FOUND

STEM HAS NO MEMBERS

121

SVC 99 allocation error in the following form:

RC: returncode ERROR: errorcode INFO: informationcode
