CYBER 865 Job Control Language 



65. An example of JCL used to run RCPWAVE on the CYBER 865 is given in 

 Figure 5. The file containing this JCL can be obtained by logging into the 

 CDC computing system and typing 



GET , RCP865 J/UN=CER0Q2 



This action will create a local file called RCP865J on the user's work space. 

 In order to save the file permanently, type 



SAVE,RCP865J 



Each line or "card image" of RCP865J contains a specific instruction to the 

 computer. Note the brief description of important input and output files un- 

 der the "COMMENT" section. These files will be discussed in greater detail 

 later in Part IV, and specific examples will be given in Part V. At this 

 point, it is only important to know what each file contains. A line-by-line 

 description of the JCL in RCP865J is given in Appendix D. 



Submitting the CYBER 865 Batch Job 



66. A series of commands (JCL) has been assembled into a batch job that 

 instructs the computer to gather input, compile and execute the wave model, 

 and save output. The computer is actually given this batch of commands by 

 using the following form of the SUBMIT command: 



SUBMIT, <JCL FILENAME>,T 



The <JCL filename> of the file shown in Figure 5 is RCP865J; therefore the 

 following command is given: 



SUBMIT, RCP865 J, T 



The parameter T tells the computer to return certain output to the user's 

 terminal once the job is completed. When a batch job is submitted, the com- 

 puter responds by giving the job an identifier similar to the one shown below:
