## //*NET JOBGROUPs and Extended Status SSI 

JES2 JOBGROUPs are used to implement //*NET networks. Existing JOBGROUP Extended Status infrastructure is used without change. The RELEASE= job name list is returned as multiple dependency (STATDB) objects. 

New job information (STATJQ) //*NET subsection is added (STATNETI), which includes the following //*NET statement keyword information: 

GLYPH<SM590000> Original HOLD count value (STNEOHLD) 

GLYPH<SM590000> NETREL= NETID name (STNENRID) 

GLYPH<SM590000> NETREL= JOB name (STNENRJB) 

GLYPH<SM590000> NORMAL= value (STNENORM) 

GLYPH<SM590000> ABNORMAL= value (STNEABNR) 

GLYPH<SM590000> ABCMP= value (STNEABCM) 

GLYPH<SM590000> NRCMP= value (STNENRCM) 

GLYPH<SM590000> OPHOLD= value (STNEPHLD) 

The following job information (STATJQ) JOBGROUP in the information subsection (STATJZXC) was updated: 

GLYPH<SM590000> Network Origin Indicator (STJZ1NOI): 

– OFF = Network is a static (JEC) JOBGROUP 

– ON = network is a //*NET JOBGROUP 

GLYPH<SM590000> Current HOLD count value (STJZCHLD) 

GLYPH<SM590000> NETREL= NETID name (STJZNRID) 

GLYPH<SM590000> NETREL= JOB name (STJZNRJB) 

Also, HOLD count filter is added (STATHCFV). This option allows filtering on current HOLD counts =, >, <, >=, <=, != to STATHCFV. See fields STATSHCE, STATSHCL, and STATSHCG for their dependencies on STATHCFV. 

For more information, see Appendix F, “A lternative conversion programs” on page 263. 

## 4.3.3 //*ROUTE XEQ support detail 

JES2 implements the support to //*ROUTE XEQ JECL statement that reduces the work that is required to convert JECL statements in a JES3 to JES2 migration. With this support, all //*ROUTE XEQ JECL statements that are coded on JES3 JCL are recognized and processed by JES2. 

The syntax rules used by JES2 are the same as JES3, as shown in the following example: 

//*ROUTE XEQ dest [. vmguestid ] 

JES2 does not support the alternative /*ROUTE XEQ syntax that is used by JES3 because of conflicts with the JES2 /*ROUTE XEQ syntax. 

The //*ROUTE XEQ statement is used to send the following input stream to a network node where the job is then run. JES2 stops transmitting the input stream records when it finds one of the following conditions: 

GLYPH<SM590000> A second JOB statement after the //*ROUTE XEQ statement. 

GLYPH<SM590000> The input stream runs out of records.
