The following examples show how to submit a job for execution and receive a notification of the ID assigned to the submitted job. In the examples it is assumed that the JCL script br14.jcl with the following contents is stored in the directory /home/user1/src/jcl/ on a Unix host:

//USERJ0  JOB ,,CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
//            NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//*
//STEP00  EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//

Example 1. Interface with JES using a file transfer advice string:

$ sftpg3 user1@mf_server  
sftp> sput /home/user1/src/jcl/br14.jcl /ftadv:filetype=jes,c=ISO8859-1,d=IBM-1047/ 
br14.jcl                           |   100B |      29B/s | TOC: 00:00:03 | 100%        
07.57.19 JOB03198  $HASP100 USERJ0   ON INTRDR              FROM STC03197 USER17      
07.57.20 JOB03198  IRR010I  USERID USER1   IS ASSIGNED TO THIS JOB.
JOBID=JOB03198 

	Open an SFTP session from your client to the target server (in this example mf_server).
	Submit the job (/home/user1/src/jcl/br14.jcl) using sput. Use a file transfer advice string to set file type to JES and to specify code set conversion. In this example the code set is ISO8859-1 during the transfer and the server should store the data set with the IBM-1047 code set.
	At the end of the output you can see the job ID (JOB03198) that was assigned to the job.

Example 2. Interface with JES using the site command:

$ sftpg3 user1@mf_server 
sftp> ascii 
File transfer mode is now ascii.
sftp> site filetype=JES 
sftp> sput /home/user1/src/jcl/br14.jcl 
br14.jcl                           |   100B |      33B/s | TOC: 00:00:02 | 100%
06.54.20 JOB03384  $HASP100 USERJ0   ON INTRDR              FROM STC03354 USER16
06.54.21 JOB03384  IRR010I  USERID USER1   IS ASSIGNED TO THIS JOB.
JOBID=JOB03384 

	Open an SFTP session from your client to the target server (in this example mf_server).
	Set the file transfer mode to ASCII.
	Run site to set file type to JES.
	Submit the job using sput.
	At the end of the output you can see the job ID (JOB03384).

To retrieve the spool output of a submitted job, run the get command with the job's ID.

Example 1. Interface with JES using a file transfer advice string to specify the file type and code set conversion:

sftp> get /ftadv:filetype=JES,C=ISO8859-1,D=IBM-1047/JOB03198
JOB03198                           |  1.1kB |     431B/s | TOC: 00:00:02 | 100%

Example 2. Interface with JES using the site command:

sftp> ascii 
File transfer mode is now ascii.
sftp> site filetype=JES 
sftp> get JOB03384 
JOB03384                           |  2.2kB |     831B/s | TOC: 00:00:02 | 100%
sftp> site filetype=SEQ 

	Set file transfer mode to ASCII.
	Run the site command to change file type to JES.
	Retrieve the job.
	Return to accessing the normal file system.

To delete a job (in this example JOB03198), use the rm command and an advice string to set file type to JES:

sftp> rm /ftadv:filetype=JES/JOB03198

Example 1. To display the status of all the jobs that are on the JES spool for your user ID, enter the following command:

sftp> ls /ftadv:filetype=JES/

Example 2. To list jobs in the long name format, enter:

sftp> ls -l /ftadv:filetype=JES/

Example 3. To list the contents of a specific job (in this example JOB03419) in the long name format:

sftp> ls -l /ftadv:filetype=JES/JOB03419/ 
/FTADV:filetype=JES//u/home/user1/JOB03419/:
Volume Referred    Recfm Lrecl BlkSz Dsorg    Space  Dsname
JOB03419 USER1   USERJ0   A        J      0000
  0002          JES2     JESMSGLG    18       1048 UA       133
  0003          JES2     JESJCL       6        299 V        136
  0004          JES2     JESYSMSG     9        559 VA       137

Note the required trailing slash after the job ID.
