EMSDIST—Distributor Program
error messages are sent to the home terminal. If a DEFINE is not specified, all
distributor generated events except ZEMS^EVT^BURST^START and
ZEMS^EVT^BURST^END are written to $0. The burst start and burst end
messages are written to the distributor's OUT file, as specified in the EMSDIST
run option, OUT. If the EMSDIST run option, OUT, is specified but does not
match the hometerm, burst start and burst end messages are written to the
OUT file as a text error list. If the EMSDIST run option, OUT, is specified
without a value, burst start and burst end messages are written to the
hometerm of the distributor as a text error list. If the value of the EMSDIST run
options OUT and TERM are the same, and neither the =_ems_system_log or
=_ems_alternate_log defines exist, burst start and burst end messages are not
written.
