SRJE UNATTENDED MODE OF OPERATION
Unattended mode allows the SRJE utility to operate with a minimum of operator intervention. Operator action is required only if a System/34 message is displayed. For SRJE messages (those containing SRJE in the text) and host messages (such as forms mount messages), the SRJE utility selects the default option and continues processing. Refer to the Displayed Messages Guide for information on the SRJE messages and defaults.
Before SRJE can be run in unattended mode, you must have an initialization display format that contains the necessary information for the SRJE session. In unattended mode, no changes can be made to the default values given on the
display. '
The following points must be considered before you initiate SRJ E in unattended mode:
• Initialization in unattended mode occurs without operator intervention.
Therefore, the default values on the initialization format specified must be the correct values for the session.
• The initialization format must specify RD1NAME, RD1DATE, RD1CMD, RD1 LIBR, and RD1 DEL parameters appropriately so that a file or library member will be read immediately after initialization.
Initiation for Unattended Mode
To initiate SRJE for unattended mode of operation, specify AUTO in the SRJE procedure command and specify the proper initialization display format name for the name parameter.
Initialization in Unattended Mode
Once the SRJE procedure command has been entered with AUTO specified, the initialization phase proceeds without operator intervention. Communications are established in the same manner as for attended mode. Note that the operator may be required to dial the host system to establish the connection or to answer the host call to establish the connection.
Input in Unattended Mode
In unattended mode, reader input is usually from disk and is usually initiated by the RD1 NAME parameter on the initialization display. The processing of files is the same as for attended mode. Proper use of command files and data files allows multiple files to be processed in one SRJE session. For example, the file specified for the RD1 NAME parameter would normally be a command file, and it would contain one or more READFILE statements that cause one or more data files to be read. That command file could also reference another command file in a READFILE statement.
The END utility control statement is permitted in a command file during unattended mode, and its processing causes SRJE to enter the termination phase. You can use the DELAY parameter in the END utility control statement to delay the sending of the sign-off command to the host for a specified number of minutes.
Console input, as described for attended mode, is permitted during unattended mode of SRJE processing. However, use of console input overrides the purpose of unattended mode since it requires the presence of an operator.
Output in Unattended Mode
During unattended mode, output is handled in much the same way as during attended mode. The only difference is that during unattended mode any messages received from the host system or generated by the SRJE utility are handled automatically. When in unattended mode, SRJE selects the default option for all messages except System/34 messages. The System/34 operator may have to respond to messages generated by the System/34. For a
description of the SRJE messages and the defaults, refer to the Displayed Messages Guide.
Termination of SRJE in Unattended Mode
Termination of SRJE while in unattended mode occurs whenever the END utility control statement is encountered in a command file or whenever the END statement is entered from the console. Once the END statement has been entered, termination proceeds in the same manner as described for attended mode of operation. It is recommended that you specify a DELAY parameter in the END statement to ensure that all output from the host is received.

ALTERING THE INITIALIZATION SCREEN FORMAT
If you are going to be running SRJE with the same values each time, and those values differ from the values on the IBM-supplied initialization screen, you can modify the display screen format so that it has your needed default options. You can also modify the format more than once to generate a display screen for each configuration you will be running.
Each screen format is identified by a unique name of eight characters or less.
The name of the SRJE initialization display format must always be #SR@ID.
To use one of the formats you generate for the initialization display, specify the name of the load member for that format as the
name
parameter in the SRJE procedure command. You can r:podify the values on the IBM-supplied initialization format, #SR@ID, but by doing so you lose the values originally supplied for the format.The following steps can be followed to modify the values on the IBM-supplied initialization format and generate a new initialization format with your desired default values:
1. Enter: SEU #SR@ID,S,,80
2. The format name begins in column 7 of line 4. You must not change the
#SR@ID name. Enter the number of the line you want to change and press the Enter/Rec Adv key.
3. The values for all other parameters start in column 57 of a given line. If a change is necessary, key the new value and press the Enter/Rec Adv key to record the changed record. If no changes are necessary, press the Enter
I
Rec Adv key to advance to the next line. Certain parameters (such as SIGNON and MESSAGE) may require more than one line. For these parameters, begin keying in column 57 of the first line and continue keying through column 79, enter an X in column 80 to indicatecontinuation, and press the Enter/Rec Adv key. You may continue keying on the next line beginning in column 7.
Note: Be certain that you change only the parameter values; do not alter any other characters in the format.
4. When you have made all neGessary changes, press Command Key 7 to exit from SEU. Select one of the .options from the menu that is displayed to end the job.
5. Enter: FORMAT CREATE,name,,#SR@ID
This step converts your source member to an object member.
