Use JobCommand to pass a command to the job entry system (aka spooler) running on the host. (The job entry system running on MVS hosts is JES. The job entry system running on VSE hosts is POWER.)
JobCommand may also be entered as JobCom[mand], CommandJ[ob], ComJ[ob], ControlP, CtlP, or CP.
Required Operands
STR is a command string to pass to the job entry system. STR may be any string which is a legitimate command to the job entry system, although BIM-EDIT itself does not edit the contents of the string.
JobCommand does not set last referenced job (and data sets).
When Valid
The user must have OPER or ADM command access level. Security can be defined within the BIXPWQA exit routine. BIXPWQA as distributed requires the user have a PWRSEC value of "2" or "3" before allowing the JobCommandfunction.
Return Codes
OK Successful.
PW Command rejected by POWER.
-- Other codes as set by BIXPWQA exit routine.
JES Examples
Cancel JES job 1228 with dump:
=> cp '$c j1228,d'
POWER Examples

=> cp 'r rdr,asm100'
