Usage notes

Output messages queued for a particular component will not be sent unless the component is ready. Depending on terminal type, output operations for other components can continue.

Note: Defaults are READY and 1.

The ready/not ready state set by the /RCOMPT command can be altered by the following:

Another /RCOMPT command
A /COMPT, /START, or /RSTART command
An I/O error on the terminal component

The command format takes one of the following forms:

A keyword is used.
A search is made of the components (as defined in the TERMINAL macro during IMS™ system definition or logon descriptor) for the component defined that corresponds to the specified keyword. When a match is found, that component type is made ready or not ready as specified by the command.
A keyword is used with a number other than 1 following the keyword.
The corresponding occurrence of that component type is made ready or not ready, as specified by the command.
Number 1 through 4 is used instead of a keyword.
The component affected is the one defined in that position during system definition or logon descriptor independent of component type.

When using ISC, only parameters 1, 2, 3, and 4 are valid.
