DIRECT Usage Notes

Changing a MAINID with the DIRECT command does not cause a change to the MAINID specification as defined for the job in the database.

Use of a MAINID has no effect on the routing of jobs in a shared spool environment unless a user-supplied submit exit inserts appropriate JES control statements.

You can use the QM.3-X CPU Job Attributes panel as an alternative for this purpose.

If a job has already been submitted and the DIRECT command is to be used because a CPU is down, the job must be requeued before this command takes effect.

The DIRECT command is not valid for internal cross-platform jobs because these jobs execute on other platforms. To change the destination node, use the XUPD or QM.3 screen.
