TELLOP

TELLOP

     Sends a message to the system console.

SYNTAX

     TELLOP [text]

PARAMETER

text             Message text, preceded by a space and consisting of
                 any string of ASCII characters. Default is that no
                 text is printed; however, MPE/iX still prints the following:

                    FROM/sessionid

                 Sessionid is the session identification number.

OPERATION

     This command sends a message to the system console.  The
     message text appears on the system console, preceded by the
     time it was transmitted and your job/session number.  Like
     messages transmitted between users (TELL command), this
     message is printed as soon as possible without interrupting
     any console input/output currently in progress.  The message
     can be sent to the system console, even if no session is logged on.

     This command may be issued from a session, job, in BREAK, or
     from a program.  Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command.

NOTE:

If the console has been reassigned from the physical console device to
another terminal, that assigned terminal will receive the TELLOP message.
