Purpose: Use the /*SIGNON statement to tell JES2 to begin a remote job stream processing session. For non-multi-leaving remote stations, the terminal transmits the /*SIGNON statement alone as part of the initial connection process.

Systems network architecture (SNA) remote work stations must use the LOGON command instead of the /*SIGNON statement to notify JES2 of a connection request.

References: For information on the LOGON command, see z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programming.
