Example of usage – “An NJE job is a transfer unit that contains data to be processed at another node in the NJE network. It begins with a job header, is followed by data, and ends with a job trailer. The type of data contained in the NJE job further defines the type of NJE job. The data between the job header and job trailer can be either SYSIN or SYSOUT data.”
