Flushing the log buffers

After a TLVLOG is switched, issuing an echo command can flush the log buffers and ensure that new messages are written to the new RKLVLOG. The ECHO command echos any text entered back to the screen.

The syntax of the ECHO command is shown as follows:

>>-ECHO--string------------------------------------------------><

where string is a character string to be echoed back to the operator screen where the ECHO command was entered.

Usage notes:

• Use ECHO to verify that the TMS: Engine operator facility is functioning properly and to force all buffered messages to the log.
• Even after an ECHO, log output may not be visible in JES3 systems. This is apparently a result of the way JES3 manages spool buffers.
• Enclosing string in single quotes is not necessary unless you want to preserve leading blanks.
