TEXT

>>-TEXT--=--'--message_text--'---------------------------------><

Specifies the text to replace the USS messages identified by the MSG operand. The message text provided here must follow the rules listed in Syntax rules for messages.

Note: For a terminal operator message, VTAM® produces an error message if you code both the BUFFER and TEXT operands.

On TEXT, you can place any combination of the character strings described in Table 1; VTAM will replace the strings with the values shown in the table.

For example, the message definition
TEXT='@@LUNAME IS NOW IN SESSION WITH VTAM'
produces the following message:
TERMA     IS NOW IN SESSION WITH VTAM
Note: The message appears as shown above, even if OPT=BLKSUP is coded.
If the LUNAME has 8 characters, it produces a message like the following information:
TERMBBBB IS NOW IN SESSION WITH VTAM
An example using date and time follows:
TEXT='IT IS @@@@TIME ON @@@@DATE'
produces a message like the following information:
IT IS 10:14:51 ON 10/10/91
