10 Tell Message Commands
This section provides complete descriptions of the commands that enable you to define
and control messages that TCPs display. These messages are displayed only to
operators who are using devices associated with configured TERM objects and
temporary TERM objects created with the START PROG command. The issuing of tell
messages is controlled by the SCREEN COBOL TELL-ALLOWED special register.
When this register is set to YES, tell messages can be displayed; when set to NO, tell
messages are postponed. Tell messages are not currently supported for intelligent
devices.
With these commands you can do the following:
•
Add and delete tell messages.
•
Get the text of pending tell messages.
•
Queue and deliver tell messages.
For a brief description of each object type, see Object Types on page 3-6.
ADD TELL
Use the ADD TELL command to add a tell message to the PATHMON configuration
file and return a number that identifies the message. The message can then be queued
to a specific terminal using the TELL TERM command.
Continuation
You cannot use continuation to add multiple tell messages; you must explicitly add
each tell message and its text.
Command Syntax
For tokens that might be present in the command and response buffers but are not
listed, see Unlisted Tokens on page 3-36. For descriptions of tokens and fields, see
Section 4, SPI and EMS Standard Definitions through Section 6, ZPWY-MAP-
Definitions.
