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 |  |
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
