Types of Processing
Any work that is processed by the AS/400 is called a job. Two important
types of jobs are interactive jobs and batch jobs. All ETU commands can
be run interactively. Some can be run in batch mode, as well.
Interactive ETU Commands
Interactive jobs begin processing the moment you execute them, usually
when you press the ENTER key. The microcomputer from which you execute
the job is input inhibited or tied up until the interactive job is
completed. During this time you can't use the host session from which you
have initiated ETU.
The following commands are interactive and can be run only from a
microcomputer emulating a 5250: ALOCATB, DELETEB, TO3XB, PGMTO3XB,
PGMFROM3XB, RENAMEB, TESTB, FROM3XB, PRTFROM3X, PRTTO3X, EDITTABLE, and
STRSEU.
You must run these commands from the microcomputer that you are sending
the file to or receiving it from.
The power commands can be initiated from any AS/400 display. The source
or target device specified in the transfer must be a microcomputer
running 5250 emulation with the AS/400 sign-on screen displayed.
Batch ETU Commands
Batch jobs are submitted to a job queue where they are processed along
with any other jobs on the queue. Batch jobs do not tie up your
microcomputer.
The ETU commands that translate data or work with translation tables can
be run in batch mode as well as interactively. These commands are
PRTXFRMPC, PRTXTOPC, XLATEFROM, and XLATETO. You can run these commands
from a microcomputer emulating a 5250, or from any host terminal attached
to the host system.
The ETU power commands can also be submitted to batch by using SBMJOB or
the ETU utility SBMBATXFER (submit batch transfer). The power commands
are PWRDELETEB, PCFROMPC, PCTOPC, PWRFROM3XB, PWRRENAMEB, and PWRTO3XB.
