Warning message area
The warning message area contains a literal, PASSWORD, followed by a field in which you can enter an IMS password. To enter a password, position the cursor immediately after the colon (:). You can press the back tab key to move the cursor from the user input area to the password field.
Line 22 is the warning message area. The four possible warning
messages issued by Message Format Service (MFS) are:
MASTER LINES WAITING
- Displayed when you receive a multisegment message that is larger than the currently available message area, or when the message area is full and additional lines need to be displayed. To display the remaining lines, press the PA1 key.
MASTER MESSAGE WAITING
- Displayed when the message area is full and you receive a message from another terminal or from an application program. To display the message and reset the warning, press the PA1 key.
DISPLAY LINES WAITING
- Displayed after the display area is full because the output of
a
/DISPLAY
,QUERY
, or/RDISPLAY
command is more than 10 lines. To continue displaying the output, press the PA1 key. USER MESSAGE WAITING
- Displayed when you receive a message for the master terminal that is not formatted in one of the IMS default formats. To display the message (in its format), press the PA1 key. To return the screen to the master format, enter any IMS command, or place the terminal in unprotected status and wait to receive a message in the master format.
