TELL TERM Command
TELL TERM Command
Use the TELL TERM command to display a message on a terminal or set of terminals.
The TCP waits for the terminal operator to complete the current screen before
displaying the message, so normal operation is not disrupted.
termname-list
specifies the name(s) of one or more terminals (either a configured TERM object or
a temporary TERM object created with the RUN PROGRAM command) on which a
message is to be displayed. If an INTELLIGENT terminal is included on the list, it is
ignored.
"string"
specifies the message text. The quotation mark characters are required.
TERM *
displays a message on all terminals (configured or temporary TERM objects)
controlled by all TCPs.
STATE state-type
displays a message on all terminals in the specified state. Possible values are:
RUNNING NOT RUNNING
STOPPED NOT STOPPED
SUSPENDED NOT SUSPENDED
You can substitute SEL for STATE.
TCP tcp-name
displays a message on all TERM objects controlled by the specified TCP.
TELL { [ TERM ] termname-list } , "string"
{ TERM * [ , option [ , option ] ] }
option is:
STATE state-type
TCP tcp-name
