Controlling general workstations

You control general workstations such as SETP and PAY1 using the READY LIST panel, which you access using option 4 (WORK STATIONS) from the main menu.

Using the READY LIST panel, the job preparation team can see what operations are waiting for setup, initiate setup by setting next status, and complete the setup operation when they finish editing the JCL. The process is similar for other manual operations.

A general workstation is not a location or a device, but rather a logical stage in processing that you normally control with an ISPF session (although you could use a command or program interface to set the status of general workstations).
