TELL Command
TELL Command
The TELL command sends a text-string message to a subsystem.
The TELL command is a sensitive command.
OUT file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified
file. The variable file-spec is defined on page 5-9.
object-spec
specifies the object to receive the message text. The variable object-spec is
defined on page 5-2. You can omit object-spec if it has been assumed. (See
ASSUME Command on page 5-36.)
message-text
defines the text string to be sent to a subsystem. Either quotation marks
("message-text") or angle brackets (<message-text>) must delimit the text
string.
Consideration
No character conversion is done on the text string.
Example
The following command sends a message to the $ZMGR process:
-> TELL PROCESS $ZMGR, MESSAGE "Now is the time"
TELL [ / OUT file-spec / ] [ object-spec ]
, MESSAGE { " message-text " | < message-text > }
