Flushing the log buffers

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

The syntax of the ECHO command is shown in the following diagram:

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

Note:
  1. Use ECHO to verify that the TMS:Engine operator facility is functioning properly and to force all buffered messages to the log.
  2. Even after an ECHO command is issued, log output might not be visible in JES3 systems, because of the way JES3 manages spool buffers.
  3. Enclosing string in single quotes is necessary only if you want to preserve leading blanks.
