Universal Submit Job

The Universal Submit Job (USBMJOB) utility is a command for the IBM i environment that encapsulates the IBM Submit Job (SBMJOB) command.

USBMJOB builds on the functionality of SBMJOB by providing a job submission command that better suits the needs of a remote user issuing IBM i commands via Universal Command.

Functions

USBMJOB performs four main functions:

1. Submits commands in their own easily customized job environment.
2. Monitors submitted jobs to completion and sets a return code based on the end code and message severity codes of the submitted job.
3. Provides a facility for the remote handling of inquiry messages generated by the submitted job. Inquiry messages are received and replied to from the z/OS console via the Universal Write-to-Operator utility (available only for z/OS managers).
4. Returns spooled output generated by the submitted job on standard output. The joblog generated by the submitted job is written to standard error and, optionally, to a job log output queue.
