IO Command

The IO command can be used in place of and as a combination of the IN and OUT commands. The IO command results in a simultaneous log in and log out of one or more workstation tasks. The IO command uses reference numbers to identify each workstation.

This command has the following format:

IO,REF={nnnnrrs|(nnnnrrs,...)}[,FORCE=YES]

REF

Defines the workstation tasks to be both logged in and logged out.

nnnnrrs

Defines a single workstation task reference number.

Limits: 4 to 7 numeric characters

Note: Workstation task reference numbers can be obtained by using an LPRE or LPOST command.

nnnn: Defines the CA 7 job number (leading zeros can be omitted).
rr: Defines the relative sequence of the network in relation to other networks associated with the job. For input workstation networks, the value is 00. Leading zeros cannot be omitted.
s: Defines the relative position of the station within the network. The first station is position 1.

(nnnnrrs,...,nnnnrrs)

Defines up to ten workstation task reference numbers. Must be enclosed in parentheses.

FORCE

(Optional) Allows the logging of an output network before completion of the job to which it is associated. If used, enter the value as shown. FORCE=YES only has meaning for output networks.
