Table 1. How JES2 resolves destinations -- example 4
1 Destination Specified at NODE 1	2 DESTID Specified at NODE 1	3 Destination Sent (NJE Header)	4 DESTID Specified at NODE 2	5 Destination Resolved
NODE2.SCOTT	DESTID(SCOTT) DEST=R5	NODE2 R5	N/A	NODE2.R5

1 The destination specified on a $TO J5,ALL,D= JES2 command, NODE2.SCOTT, means: Send this SYSOUT data set to destination SCOTT at Node 2.
2 JES2 determines whether Node 1 has a definition for destination SCOTT. It finds a DESTID(SCOTT) initialization statement definition. JES2 cannot compare first-level destinations because the DEST= parameter provides only a symbolic second-level destination. Therefore, JES2 uses the first-level destination from the $T O command and combines it with the second-level destination on the DEST= parameter from the DESTID(jxxxxxxx) initialization statement.
3 JES2 puts the destination of R5 at NODE2 into the NJE header and sends the SYSOUT to Node 2.
4 At Node 2, because the incoming destination is an explicit destination (referring to a specific route code) as opposed to a symbolic destination, JES2 uses it.
5 The resolved destination is R5 (remote workstation 5) at Node 2.
