Receiving Broadcast Messages - IBM System 360 User Manual

RECEIVING BROADCAST MESSAGES
You can use three commands to control which broadcast messages you
recei ve: LOGON. PROFILE.. and LISTBC.
When you log on, broadcast messages sent to all users (notices) and
those broadcast messages intended only for you (mail) are displayed at
your terminal. You can use the following operands of the LOGON command
to prevent printing either type of message at your terminal:
• NONOTICES suppresses printing of broadcast messages intended for all
terminal users.
• NOMAIL suppresses printing of broadcast messages intended
specifically for you.
For example. if you enter:
logon smith acct(72411) nomail
You will not receive mail but you will receive all notices that are
available at the time.
NONOTICES and NOMAIL suppress those broadcast messages outstanding at
the time you log on. You will automatically receive any broadcast
messages issued after you log on. You cannot stop the operator from
sending you notices, but you can specify that you do not want to receive
any mail by using the NO INTER COM operand of the PROFILE command. For
example, if you enter the following commands:
logon jones/cloud proc(ab)
READY
profile nointercom
you request that all broadcast me~sages available at logon be displayed,
but that all mail sent to you after logon be suppressed throughout your
session. (Note that NOINTERCOM can be a default of your user profile,
and therefore you may not have to specify it with the PROFILE command.)
At any time during your session you can use the LISTBC command to
request that either all available notices for users, or all your mail
(or both) be displayed. If you enter:
listbc
you will get all broadcast messages.
If you enter:
listbc nomail
you will: get only notices.
If you enter:
listbc nonotices
you will get only your mail.
The notices you get are both the notices available at the time you
logged on and those issued throughout your session. This enables you to
see what notices were availab,le at log on time, if you specified
NONOTICES in your LOGON command. (The system operator can delete
notices at any time. Consequently you will get only those notices he
has not deleted.)
