Re: interactive subsystem descriptions, Routing Entries.

in all of my interactive subsystem descriptions, I have a catch all routing
entry 9999 PGM:PGMEVOKE LIBRARY:QGPL Compare Value: *ANY...

that program just does a
RTVUSRPRF, INITPGM, INITPGMLIB
and then does a "TFRJOB INITPGMLIB/INITPGM".

Is this how "normal" systems start their interactive jobs?

This is not a default configuration but it will work. I guess that the goal is to properly handle the subsystem where interactive jobs will run whatever the device name they will use. Maybe a way to group user profiles jobs in a subsystem. Of course, the "catch all" routing entry must be selected for that setup to work. In the interactive job log, you should see a message stating that the job was transferred.

You just need to have a subsystem with a INITPGMLIB/INITPGM job queue entry and an appropriate AT(*ENTER) work station entry. And also, at one time the INITPGMLIB/INITPGM initial program must run, when the job finds a matching routing entry with QCMD program. Hopefully, the subsystem where the job is transferred does not have this "catch all" routing entry, otherwise there would be a risk of some loop.
