Command Definitions A-B
ACCEPT
ACCEPT
Permits a designated device to accept jobs/sessions and/or data.
Syntax
ACCEPT[ JOBS | DATA ] ,ldev
Parameters
JOBS The designated device recognizes the JOB and HELLO commands. The
device must be interactive to support sessions.
DATA The designated device recognizes the DATA command. Data-accepting
devices are not supported.
NOTE If you omit both the JOBS and the DATA parameters, then both the JOB and
HELLO commands, and the DATA command are allowed.
ldev The logical device number of the device for which the JOB, HELLO, and/or
DATA commands are being enabled.
Operation Notes
The operator or system supervisor uses this command to designate which devices may be
used to initiate jobs or sessions and/or data. When a device is configured as an accepting
device, MPE/iX automatically scans the first input record for a valid JOB, HELLO, or DATA
command. This feature, called auto-recognition, allows users to access the device without
specifically requesting use of the device with a message to the system console.
If you explicitly specify the JOBS parameter, the ACCEPT command is not executed unless
the device is configured as a default output device.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break
has no effect on this command. It is executable only from the console unless distributed to
users with the ALLOW command.
