Prompt facility

The prompt facility provides a way to automatically notify you if the current page of output is the last page of the message.

The notification text is defined as a literal which MFS inserts into a specified device field when it formats the last logical page of the message. To further assist you, the prompting text can be used to tell you what input is expected next.

Recommendation: For a 3270 or SLU 2 device, the combination of PROMPT and FILL=NULL should be used with care because, once the prompt literal is displayed, it can remain on the screen if your input does not cause reformatting of the screen.
