Messages to the Console Operator
TELLOP messages are general messages from users to the system operator.
Unlike a system console request, a TELLOP message does not suspend the
sender's program. In any case, common courtesy dictates a prompt
response from the console.
A message can be sent to the system console by entering:
TELLOP text
where text is the message text, consisting of any string of ASCII
characters. The default is that no message text is sent.
If a user sends the following message, for example:
TELLOP HOW SOON IS SYSTEM SHUTDOWN?
The following message appears on the system console:
20:01/#S14/46/FROM PAT.SMITH/HOW SOON IS SYSTEM SHUTDOWN?
