1 CONSOLE$
    CONSOLE is  used  in  conjunction  with  the VAX RJE system to allow
user access to the status of jobs running on the IBM  3081  through  the
use  of  Jes2 commands and/or the current state of the RJE system on the
VAX through the use of Local console commands. 

Format:     CONSOLE
2 Description
    CONSOLE is  operationally similar to the operator's console found at
the many card oriented RJE (Remote Job Entry)  stations  around  campus.
CONSOLE  will  allow  the interrogation of the IBM 3081 about the status
of jobs on the IBM through the use of Jes2 commands.  The Jes2  commands
are a  restricted subset of IBM JES2 commands.  Due to the nature of the
line used to connect the VAX RJE to the IBM 3081, only one  thing  at  a
time  may  be  done.   This  means  that  if someone is sending a job or
receiving an output, then a newly entered Jes2 command may take  several
minutes  before  it can be transmitted.  To allow for this, CONSOLE will
respond with "OK..." and store the command away to be sent  as  soon  as
possible.   When the output from your command finally returns it will be
displayed.  More than one user may be using CONSOLE at one time and  all
displays  returning  from the IBM will be sent to all users currently on
the console network.  Local console commands are also available. 
2 Jes2
The following JES2 commands may be used by any one to check on jobs. 

    DD'jobname'   -   display job status by jobname
    DDA           -   display all active jobs
    DDF           -   display forms for remote
    DDI           -   display initiator information
    DDJjob#       -   display job status by job number
    DDQ           -   display job queue information
    DDU,RMT11     -   display unit information for VAX/VMS remote
    LLJjob#       -   display forms information by job number

All other JES2 commands are restricted to systems personal. 

NOTE:  entering cntl/z (control + z) will exit CONSOLE. 
2 Local

        .?        -   request this display
        .who      -   list who is currently on the CONSOLE network
        .rjestat  -   display status information about the RJE line
        .queue    -   display the queue of jobs waiting to be sent
        .dbkstat  -   display status of the deblocker process
