Customizing the SUBMIT command and job output processing

Users can issue the TSO/E SUBMIT command to submit batch jobs for processing by JES. They can issue the TSO/E OUTPUT command to process the output of jobs they submit, the TSO/E STATUS command to display the status of any job in the system, and the TSO/E CANCEL command to stop the processing of jobs they submit.

By using JES initialization statements, you can change the default processing performed for jobs submitted by TSO/E users, as well as jobs submitted via other methods, such as external readers or ISPF/PDF. You may want to review, and if necessary, change the default processing.

You can also use the TSO/E SUBMIT exit, the TSO/E OUTPUT, STATUS, and CANCEL exit, JES exits, SMF exits, and RACF® resource classes to customize jobs and their output before and after they have been submitted. For example, you can:

Override the IBM-provided default job processing characteristics
Monitor, change, or supplement the JCL users use to submit a job
Cancel a job
Tailor the way the TSO/E CANCEL, OUTPUT, and STATUS commands work
Delete, release, or reroute job output
Control who can submit and cancel jobs by job name
Protect against unauthorized spool access of the SYSOUT data sets for the TSO/E OUTPUT command
Allow users to submit jobs on behalf of another user (job owner) without knowing that user's password
