It assumes that manager fault tolerance is active on the client platform via the UCMD configuration file. The example should execute from either a UNIX shell or a Windows system environment. The command is submitted via
USBMJOB to allow the output data and the job log of the executed command to be brought back to the system initiating the command.

For this example,
USBMJOB requires no input; however, the user must supply
<NUL to satisfy Windows operating system requirements. Without
<NUL, the request will hang.

USBMJOB outputs data via the standard output file stream (stdout) and outputs job logs and error messages via the standard error file stream (stderr). The system takes data sent back to UCMD and stores it in
out400.txt; it takes any error messages and the job logs and stores them in
err400.txt.
