Reloading the PS buffer

When a message is waiting on the IMS queue for a terminal and requires programmed symbols that are not loaded, you must load the programmed symbols.

To load the programmed symbols, take one of the following actions:

  • If the terminal is attached by VTAM®, load the PS buffers using a VTAM application.
  • If a queued message requires a programmed symbols buffer, and it is normal user output (for example, the output is not response mode or conversational), then use a response-mode transaction to load the programmed symbols buffer, which loads the programmed symbols buffer so that the queued message is properly displayed.
  • Dequeue (/DEQ) the message (or have the master terminal operator dequeue the message) that requires the use of a programmed symbols buffer; enter a transaction to load the programmed symbols buffer required; and then reenter the transaction that originally generated the queued message.
