When running REPORT_SWITCH, one of the following results appears in the BMCHIST table:
Result | Description |
---|---|
NGTGO | SmartSwitch switches the job to if you select the ALLOW_SWITCH rule. If you select the REPORT_SWITCH rule, UNLOAD PLUS processes the job. For information about the REPORT_SWITCH rule, see REPORT SWITCH. |
NGTNOGO | SmartSwitch does not switch the job to if you select the ALLOW_SWITCH rule. UNLOAD PLUS processes the job. |
If the job does not match any rules in the rules table, or the rules table contains no rules, SmartSwitch uses the following implied rule and determines that UNLOAD PLUS should execute the job:

For more information about switching, see How the switch occurs.
In all cases, the contents of the COMMENT column for the matching rule is displayed in a message and in UNLOAD PLUS SYSPRINT.
