Alarms
The alarm that initiates chained program execution may be a Command Line
or an Immediate Command Line, but not a Message type alarm. For the
exercises that follow, an Immediate Command Line will be assumed.
After the alarm has been scheduled and set, the command line appears with
a prompt to ENTER OOMMARD:
EN'.rER OOIUWID:
I I
11:10:00 10/15
I I
The command to enter here is SUBMIT, followed by the name of the file to
I
retrieve. If that file contains XSUB, the answers to questions that will
be substituted for variables ($#) in the file are also included here.
For example, to set an alarm that calls the file XYZ.SUB in the first
example on the preceding pages, you would enter SUBMIT XYZ at the
command line.
E2ftER OOMMARD:
11:10:00 10/15
I I
SUBMIT XYZ
II
When the alarm sounds as scheduled, the file XYZ will be retrieved from
the diskette in Drive A and the programs PIP, DIR, and STAT will be
executed. Note that the file must reside on the diskette in Drive A to
be retrieved by SUBMIT.
To call the file ABC (which contains XSUB) in the second example, you
would enter SUBMIT ABC 1 T DOCFILE Y 6 at the command line.
ENTER OOIUWID:
11:10:00 10/15
I I SUBMIT ABC 1 T DOCFILE Y
6
II
t-lhen the alarm sounds as scheduled, the file ABC is retrieved from the
diskette on Drive A and the SOFTCOM program begins execution. As SOFTCOM
asks questions, XSUB inserts the next answer from the command line.
In the example above, a menu is displayed and option "1" is inserted for
a computer to computer transfer. SOFTOOM then asks if you want transfer
or receive, and the answer "T" is inserted. SOFTCOM asks for the file to
transfer and XSUB inserts "DOCFILE". SOFTCOM then asks "Check Sum
Transfer Y/N" and XSUB inserts the value ''Y" from the command line.
