Tell Message Commands
NonStop Pathway/iTS Management Programming Manual—426749-002

TELL TERM
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 Specifying Continuation on page 3-21.
Command Syntax
For tokens that might be present in the command and response buffers but are not
listed, see Unlisted Tokens on page 3-36. For descriptions of tokens and fields see
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
