NJE stands for "Network Job Entry" and is an IBM protocol defined as
follows:
 
     "A facility for transmitting jobs (JCL and in-stream datasets),
     SYSOUT datasets, (job-oriented) operator commands/messages, and
     job accounting information from one computing system to another."
 
NJE is provided by IBM for the following operating systems:
 
     JES2
     JES3
     RSCS
     POWER
     OS/400
 
Other implementations exist for PC's (BARR/HASP, etc) VAX/VMS (JNET), and
unix (UREP).
 
The protocol is defined in the IBM Publication "Network Job Entry, Formats
and Protocols", IBM document number SC23-0070.
 
Hope this helps.
