SIGNOFF (Sign Off)

SIGNOFF Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Sign Off (SIGNOFF) command ends an interactive job or causes all group jobs on a work station to end. The user enters this command to sign off at a work station.

Restriction: This command is valid only in an interactive job.

 

Optional Parameters

LOG

Specifies whether the job log for this interactive job is deleted or is included in the job's spooled output for printing. This entry takes precedence over the LOG parameter value specified for the job.

*NOLIST: The information in the job log is deleted when the job ends.

*LIST: The job log is spooled for printing along with the rest of the job's spooled output.

DROP

Specifies, for switched lines only, whether the switched line attached to the work station is disconnected (dropped) if no other work stations on the same line are signed on. This parameter is ignored if the work station is attached to a nonswitched line.

*DEVD: The value specified in the DROP parameter of the work station's device description is assumed.

*YES: The switched line is disconnected when the job is ended, if no other work stations are signed on the line.

*NO: The switched line is not disconnected when the job is ended.

ENDCNN

Specifies whether to end the connection to the current system. Ending the connection allows the user to bypass the sign-on display of the target system and return to the source system. For communication functions that do not support this option, this parameter is ignored.

*NO: The connection does not end. The sign-on display of the target system is shown.

*YES: The connection ends and the user is returned to the source system. No sign-on screen or error messages are shown from the target system.

Examples for SIGNOFF

Example 1: Signing Off and Ending an Interactive Job

SIGNOFF

This command signs off the user of the work station and ends the interactive job. The switched line is dropped only if specified in the device description of this work station and if no other work station on this line is active. An end-of-job message that gives the job start and stop times is written in the job's log.

Example 2: Printing the Job Log

SIGNOFF  LOG(*LIST)  DROP(*NO)

This command ends the interactive job, but the switched line is not released. The job log is printed with the job's spooled output.

Example 3: Signing Off and Ending the Connection

SIGNOFF  ENDCNN(*YES)

This command ends the connection and transfers the user back to the source system.
