Note You can change the roll-time delay interval by using the PROFILE ROLL command, and the roll-delete
delimiter character by using the PROFILE DELCHAR command.
Temporarily Suspending Roll-Delete Message Delivery
If so many roll-delete messages are being written to your window that you cannot
read them, you can temporarily suspend the flow by pressing the ENTER key. The
holding-mode message
HOLDING
appears in the information line.
If additional messages arrive while the window is frozen, the terminal alarm rings and
the HOLDING holding-mode message changes to
MSG QUEUED
Press the ENTER key to restart the flow of messages.
Controlling the Roll-Delete Message Display Flow
The AUTOHOLD command allows you to control what happens after the roll-delete
message display area is filled and there are more messages in a group of messages to
display.
Think of AUTOHOLD as consisting of two toggles: the ON/OFF toggle and the
AUTO/NOAUTO toggle. Table 4-1 describes how the AUTOHOLD settings affect
message displays.
