Sending a message to a distribution list

You can use the TSO/E ICF, if installed, or the TSO/E TRANSMIT command to send a message to a distribution list. You set up a distribution list by specifying a nickname entry in the NAMES data set that contains a list of names or nicknames you want the message sent to.

Example: If you have set up the nickname test for a distribution list, issue:
transmit test
Result: The system displays a screen for input. Type your message and press <F3> to send it.
