QMSG Command The QMSG command queues a message on the receive queue of the specified sessions.
The message is delivered with a DATA-TYPE-RECEIVED value of
DT-INTERRUPT-REQUEST. The QMSG command can be used by an installation to
broadcast site-specific information to SNAX/HLS applications.
QMSG LU-specifier message-text
LU-specifier
is a LU specifier in one of the basic forms. See the “Basic Components” subsection
for more information on the LU-specifier.
message-text
is the text of the interrupt message. The text must be delimited by angle brackets
(< >) or quote marks (“...”) unless the message is one word, in which case the
quote marks can be omitted.
Considerations
The use of this facility is user-site dependent. SNAX/HLS application programs
must be aware of—and have logic to support—interrupt messages. Check with
your system manager before using this command.
Data is delivered to the applications as supplied; no translation is performed.
Examples
These commands queue the message “Hello” to the receive queue of $SNA1.#LU1.
@ QMSG $SNA1.#LU1 "Hello"
@ QMSG $SNA1.#LU1 Hello
This command queues the message “SHUTDOWN!” to the receive queue of all
SNAX/HLS applications.
@ QMSG *.* SHUTDOWN!
