RANGE=( start , end )
determines the range of variables specified by the VARS operand. See
“Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of this section, for more
information.
SEGMENT= n
specifies the amount of data (in bytes) to be put into the variables specified.
See “Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of this section, for
more information.
DATA= text
contains the text to be sent as the message. No division of individual fields within
the record is performed. The entire record is placed in the MDO variable with the
&$EMS.CNM. stem.
Note text must be enclosed in quotes if it contains any keywords.
MODE
determines the order in which the alert is to be processed by the receiving
EMSPROC.
CREATE
causes the alert to be placed on the queue of records waiting to be processed.
INSERT
makes the alert the first alert in the queue. The next EMSREAD issued by
EMSPROC receives this alert. This operand is used to create a new record that
maintains some continuity with the record currently being processed by
EMSPROC.
Note MODE=INSERT is valid only when CNMALERT is issued from an EMSPROC NCL process and when
NCL processes are nested (executed) under EMSPROC. Any other NCL procedure that attempts to use
the MODE=INSERT operand is terminated, and an error message is displayed.
Considerations
The data supplied in the CNMALERT verb is sent without modification to the
appropriate EMSPROC for processing.
The resultant information created from the variables contained in ARGS, VARS, or
the text in DATA must be a valid SNA RU (request unit)—for example, a network
management vector transport (NMVT) or request maintenance statistics (REQMS)
message.
