TELLOP 

The TELLOP command enables you to send a message to the console.  The
message appears on the console along with your job and session number and
the time you transmitted the message.

Syntax 

TELLOP [text]

Parameters 

text                  Specifies message text, preceded by a space, that
                      consists of any string of ASCII characters.  If you
                      omit this parameter, no message text is sent to the
                      console; however, the console still receives
                      FROM/sessionid.

Operation Notes 

   *   Usage 

       You can enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in
       break mode.  Pressing Break does not affect this command.

   *   Command processing 

       You can send a message to the console, even if a session is not
       currently active or if an active session is running in quiet mode.
       As with messages transmitted with the TELL command, a message sent
       using the TELLOP command prints as soon as possible without
       interrupting any console input or input currently in progress.

Example 

   *   To send a message informing the system operator that backups can
       begin, enter:

            TELLOP CRITICAL PROCESSING DONE. OK TO START BACKUPS
