Starting a Batch Initiator SEP

You use the command casout to start a batch initiator or batch printer SEP from the command line. Before you use casout, you must already have started the enterprise server using the command casstart.

Examples

The following commands start a batch initiator SEP for the classes A, B and C on the enterprise server JCLDEMO.

casstart -rJCLDEMO
start casout -iABC -rJCLDEMO

The following commands start a batch printer SEP for the class A on the enterprise server JCLDEMO using the printer defined on your machine as "HP LaserJet 4L".

casstart -rJCLDEMO
start casout -bA -n"HP LaserJet 4L" -rJCLDEMO

The following commands are the same as above, with the addition of a printer exit (SAMPPRNX) installed, to gain more control over the output handling.

casstart -rJCLDEMO
start casout -bA -n"HP LaserJet 4L" -rJCLDEMO -xSAMPPRNX

Note that it’s advisable to run the command casout in a separate session, using the Windows start command as shown.
