Tell Term - HP NonStop Pathway/iTS Programming Manual

Tell Message Commands

TELL TERM

Use the TELL TERM command to display a message on a terminal or set of terminals.
The TCP waits for the terminal operator to complete the current screen before
displaying the message, so normal operation is not disrupted.
Continuation
To queue a tell message on all terminals, initialize the ZTERM field in
ZPWY-MAP-SEL-TERM to ZPWY-VAL-ALLTERM. Reissue the command repeatedly,
using the context token returned by the PATHMON process, until no data is returned in
the reply buffer. For more information, see
Command Syntax
For tokens that might be present in the command and response buffers but are not
listed, see Unlisted Tokens
Section 4 through Section 6.

Considerations
Each terminal has a circular queue for tell messages. If the queue is full when a
new tell message is sent, the oldest tell message in the queue is overwritten by the
new message. You specify the size of the queue by defining a value for the
