Idle musing: why doesn't JES2 have a command to submit a job, either from a named DSN or
from a defined PROCLIB? Seems like an incredibly obvious feature. I spent 30 minutes in
the commands manual going "I know it has to be in here somewhere."
IBM added many JES3 features to JES2 over the last decade in an effort
to make JES2 more palatable to JES3 customers. One of those features was
support for a "disk reader" -- something JES3 had for as long as anyone
can remember.
The purpose of a disk reader is to have a JES command submit a job from
a PDS[E] member. If you're on the right release of JES2, you might have
this feature.
