DRL SNUMB (octal 20) - obtain snumb.

Usage:

drl    snumb

Description:

If a subsystem wishes to spawn a batch job, a unique SNUMB is required. The TSS Executive obtains a SNUMB using MME GESNUM. It is returned in BCI in the A-register using the format "nnnnC0". The trailing character denoted by "C" distinguishes the job and its output as TSS-initiated. The subsystem program uses this number to generate the input file for the batch job and also uses it when the request is made to pass the file to the batch processor using DRL SPAWN.
