28.4.3 JES2 Devices
Devices such as printers, punches, TP lines, and spool offload tapes can be
allocated by JES2 dynamically. The following JES2 command verbs are used to
control JES2 devices and are followed by the device name such as PRT1,
PUN(12), LINE(5).

PSF printers are defined as JES2 printers and controlled through the same
commands used for JES2-controlled printers.

28.4.4 SDSF Device Panels
There are separate SDSF panels for JES2 devices such as printers, punches,
readers, lines, remote workstations, and NJE nodes. These may be more
convenient than the JES2 commands, because you can:
readers, lines, remote workstations, and NJE nodes. These may be more
convenient than the JES2 commands, because you can:
•
Display many devices in a tabular format,
•
Issue any operator command in a simpler form (complete with

•
Change the characteristics of a device by over-typing fields,
•
Manage input and output queues for these devices.
28.5 Controlling TSO Users, Jobs and Started Tasks
Time-sharing users, batch jobs, and started tasks all represent work being
performed on the system and reside in their own address space. They are
initiated in different ways, but all can be displayed and controlled in similar ways
with MVS commands, JES2 commands and SDSF panels. However, there are
subtle differences that make some better than others.

28.5.1 Displaying Work on Your System
TSO users, batch jobs, and started tasks each run in their own address space,
and represent work by one or more users on your system. There are MVS and
JES2 commands to display and control them. SDSF, RMF, and other monitors
also have operator interfaces to monitor and control.

Each of these has different information and presentation. Try each of them and
use what seems best for your purposes.
