Remote job entry is the process of sending jobs to Mainframe computers from remote workstations, and by extension the process of receiving output from mainframe jobs at a remote workstation.
The RJE workstation is called a remote because it usually is located some distance from the host computer. The workstation connects to the host through a modem or local area network (LAN).
The terms Remote Batch, Remote Job System, and Remote Job Processing are also used for RJE facilities.

—Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 2 (1991)
“When women can support themselves, have entry to all the trades and professions, with a house of their own over their heads and a bank account, they will own their bodies and be dictators in the social realm.”
