MSGCONT The MSGCONT verb resumes normal processing of a message. This verb must be
used within a MSGPROC procedure executing in an Operator Control Services (OCS)
environment. It requests that a message, previously requested for processing by a
MSGREAD verb, be returned to NonStop NET/MASTER MS for normal delivery to
the OCS window. The MSGCONT verb can change some of the attributes of the
message before it is delivered.
A MSGPROC NCL procedure is a system-level NCL process that intercepts and
processes messages destined for an OCS window. A MSGPROC NCL procedure uses
special message handling verbs, beginning with the letters MSG.
The MSGCONT verb need not be issued if MSGREAD verbs follow each other. If a
message is being processed by a MSGREAD verb, and another MSGREAD is issued
without an intervening MSGDEL verb, an implied MSGCONT is performed. The
message is returned to NonStop NET/MASTER MS for normal delivery to the OCS
window, before the next MSGREAD is performed.
A MSGCONT verb can be used to free a message for delivery while a MSGPROC
procedure continues processing and before the procedure issues another MSGREAD
verb.
If a MSGCONT verb is used within an NCL procedure other than a MSGPROC NCL
procedure, a run-time error is issued. A MSGCONT issued when no message is
currently being processed by a MSGPROC is ignored.
