NAME

2780e − spooler for the IBM 2780 emulator

SYNTAX

2780e [−m] [−a] [−q] [−b] [−t] [−Sfile] [−#num] file... [−o file...]

DESCRIPTION

The 2780e command puts the files named as arguments, along with a single control file which guides each file’s execution, into usr/spool/rje and calls the 2780d program. This program sends the files to the IBM system.

OPTIONS

The following options may be needed to format data transmitted to an IBM system. 

−#
Waits for num files to be received as output from job and gives default file names in the form Ruseridpid. 

−aSend file as a priority job. Used only by the superuser.  This file will be placed ahead of the next regular file or at the end of other priority jobs. 

−bTransmits the file to an IBM system that accepts multiple record transmission. 

−m
Notifies user by mail that file was sent and output was received.

−oName output files with specified file names.  This option must be at the end of the command line.  Anything listed after this option is interpreted as an output file name. 

−qPrepares the file for transmission and places it in /usr/spool/rje but does not call 2780d to transmit.

−SSends contents of file to the IBM as a sign-on card.  If this option is not specified, a default sign-on card in the spool area is used. 

−tSends data in transparent mode. This option is used for files which contain special control or protocol characters.
