You put a //BCHJOB at the top, and a //ENDBCHJOB at the bottom, and use
SBMDBJOB to submit it to a job queue.

For example:
//BCHJOB   JOB(TESTJOB) JOBD(NEIL)         
SNDMSG     MSG('Test message') TOUSR(NEIL) 
//ENDBCHJOB                                

And run it with:

SBMDBJOB FILE(QGPL/QCLSRC) MBR(ATEST)

You can also submit the job to a remote sustem with SBMNETJOB, and SNADS
will send the job to a remote user on another system.
Depending on the action to be taken for remotely submitted jobs on the
target system (check WRKNETJOBE - can be specific by user) the job will
either be FILEd, REJECTed, or SUBMITted.
