Changing workstation entries
You can specify a different job description for a previously defined workstation entry by using the character-based interface.
Command: Change Workstation Entry (CHGWSE)
- When the Job description (JOBD) parameter is specified, the workstation entry will be changed; however, the value of this parameter is not changed for any jobs started through this entry that are active at the time.
- If the value of the Maximum active jobs (MAXACT) parameter is reduced to a number less than the total number of workstations that are active through the workstation entry, no additional workstations will be allowed to sign on. Active workstations will not be signed off. Additional jobs can be created for an active workstation by the Transfer Secondary Job (TFRSECJOB) command or the Transfer to Group Job (TFRGRPJOB) command. Other workstations will not be allowed to sign on until the number of active workstations is less than the value specified for the MAXACT parameter.
Example: This command changes the workstation entry for workstation A12 in subsystem BAKER found in the general purpose library. A job is created for workstation A12 when the user's password is entered on the signon prompt and the Enter key is pressed.CHGWSE SBSD(QGPL/BAKER) WRKSTN(A12) AT(*SIGNON)
