About the Job Stream Examples
The easiest way to prepare job control commands is to enter them in a disk file using EDIT/3000. When
you want to run a job stored in a disk file, you can use the MPE :STREAM command. All of the stream jobs
described in the examples use this method.
When preparing a job to be streamed, you must substitute another character for the colon normally used
with MPE commands. Any ASCII character may be used except the letters A through Z or the numbers 0
through 9. The character most commonly used is the exclamation point.
Although each of the job stream examples has unique characteristics, all have some in common. A general
discussion of the commands for Example 1 will cover most of the common ground for the various sort
configurations covered here. Where unique qualities are present, additional explanations will be appended
to the example.
