Complete Cleo 3770 RJE Emulation for your UNIX Systems in SNA
Remote Job Entry (RJE) continues to play an important role in electronic data interchange (EDI), electronic claims filing, point-of-sale polling and other batch transfer applications.  And, despite competition from lower-cost asynchronous communications packages, RJE continues to be a popular file transfer utility.

One reason is fast throughput.  Synchronous protocols transfer files more efficiently than asynchronous protocols.  RJE's other strengths include its maturity, proven effectiveness, and widespread use as a communications standard in the automotive, retail and healthcare industries transfer tool for many large organizations.

The Cleo 3770 helps your organization continue to take advantage of the stability and speed of RJE.  A complete 3770 RJE Emulation package, Cleo 3770 enables your distributed UNIX systems to emulate IBM 3776 and 3777 RJE stations for fast, easy batch transfer in SNA networks.

How Cleo 3770 Works
Cleo 3770 communicates with IBM host Job Entry Subsystems such as MVS/JES2, MVS/JES3 and VSE/POWER. You can submit jobs to your SNA host for processing and receive output generated by the host. You can also issue commands to the host Job Entry Subsystem and receive output from these commands via the host console.

Multiple RJE Stations, Sessions and Output Devices
A single Cleo 3770 installation can be configured to provide multiple RJE stations.   For each station, you receive up to five simultaneous host sessions, plus support for up to nine printers and nine punch output devices.  This flexibility allows you to provide different configurations to different groups of users to meet their specific RJE needs.

RJE Console Program
Cleo 3770's full-screen console program enables you to view messages produced by the host while processing your RJE jobs.  You can also use it to issue host commands and view the host's response to these commands.  The console program allows you to view this information as it becomes available, or you can browse through previous commands and messages.
