Roll-Delete Messages

The Message Hold Queue
While the roll-delete message display is frozen (either in the AUTO HOLD or
HOLDING holding-mode), pending roll-delete messages are stored in a message hold
queue, and the AUTO HOLD or HOLDING holding-mode message is replaced with:
MSG QUEUED
The default number of messages that can be held in this queue is 200. When the limit
is reached, the earliest messages are discarded and the newest messages are added to
the end of the queue.
Each OCS window has a message hold queue associated with it. There is no central
queue for roll-delete messages.
As the queue fills up, the MSG QUEUED holding-mode message is replaced with the
following messages which reflect how full the queue is:
%75 LIMIT
%100 LIMIT
MSGS LOST
Note You can change the size of the message hold queue by using the PROFILE HOLD command.
Reorganizing the Message Display Area
At any time, you can issue the ORDER command to reorganize the roll-delete and
non-roll-delete message displays to appear in chronological order.
The ORDER command releases any AUTO HOLD or HOLDING holding-mode
condition.
The F12 (PF12) function key is defined to execute this command.
Clearing the Roll-Delete Message Area
Use the CLEAR or K (these two commands are synonymous) or PAGE command to
clear the roll-delete message area.
CLEAR | K Clears the roll-delete message area immediately. The CLEAR (or K)
command is processed ahead of any other commands waiting for
processing.
By concatenating the CLEAR (or K) command with another command,
you can ensure that the full roll-delete message area is available to
display the results of a command.
