Receiving spool output

You can retrieve JCL messages, JES messages, initiator and terminator messages, and SYSOUT data sets either individually or as a group.

Notes:

In JES2 (if JESINTERFACELEVEL=1), the spool files retrieved by GET and tallied by DIR must be in a hold queue (commonly class=H).
In JES3 (if JESINTERFACELEVEL=1), the spool files must be in a hold queue reserved for external writers. Ask your system programmer for the class that says (HOLD=EXTWTR) in the JES3 installation stream.
The maximum record length that can be received at the server is 254 characters before the record is truncated.
Receiving the output of a job does not remove the job output from the queue. To remove the job output from the queue, you must issue a DELETE command.
