TELL TERM
Considerations
•
Each terminal has a circular queue for tell messages. If the queue is full when a new
tell message is sent, the oldest tell message in the queue is overwritten by the new
message.
•
When you issue a TELL command, the tell message is assigned a number between
zero and the value of MAXTELLS. The PATHMON process deletes a tell message
automatically when all destination terminals acknowledge receiving the message.
•
To use the TELL TERM command, you must have a licensed copy of the
Pathway/iTS product on your system; otherwise, the PATHMON process returns an
error.
Examples
The following commands displays the specified message on terminal TERM14:
TELL TERM TERM14,"Check with Accounting for new procedures"
The following command displays the specified message on all terminals in the SALES
group:
TELL TERM GROUP SALES,"The system will be offline after 4 pm."
