Remote Workstation data

If the data retrieval request to the JES Device Information services results in the data being returned for remote devices, devices attached to remote (RJE) workstations, the interface returns remote workstation data area for each RJE workstation. This data area is chained to the SSJDRMT8 output field in the parameter list.

Remote workstation data area contains the detailed information on the RJE workstation and also serves as an anchor for data areas that represent remote devices attached to that workstation.

Remote workstation data area consists of the following data structures:

Header (Remote Workstation data header (JDWHRMTW))
Common prefix section (Common prefix section (JDCXPREF)): this section accounts for the total length of all other sections (header is not included). The prefix section also identifies the type of data returned in this header. For remote workstation, the data (section) type is JDTYRMTW.
Remote workstation common section (Remote workstation common section (JDWCRMTW))
Optional remote workstation BSC section (Remote workstation BSC section (JDWBSC))
Optional remote workstation SNA section (Remote workstation SNA section (JDWNSNA))
Optional remote workstation JES2 section (Remote workstation JES2 section (JDW2RMTW))

Data areas for devices attached to this remote workstation are chained to this header using JDWHDEV8 pointer in JDWHRMTW header. Data returned for each related device have their own unique header structures.

Depending on the type of the remote workstation, the following related devices can be returned for this workstation:

Printer and punch devices (see Printer/punch data header (JDPHPRPU))
Reader devices (see Reader device data header (JDRHRDR))
Console devices (see Remote workstation console data header (JDCHCONS))
Line device (see Line device data header (JDLHLINE))
Logon device (see Logon device data header (JDGHLOGN))
