Use the SEND...,SAVE command to store messages in the broadcast
data set to be issued only at LOGON time, or when requested.
SE {'message'},{USER=(userid[,userid]...)},SAVE
{ msgno } {ALL }
|
The parameters are:
- ‘message’
- The message to be sent to the terminal users.
- msgno
- The number of the message to be sent.
- USER(userid)
- The identifications of those users to receive the message. The
message is stored in the mail sections for those users. (There is
a mail section for each TSO user.)
- ALL
- All terminal users are to receive the message. Terminal users
who are currently using the system receive the message immediately.
In addition, the message is placed in the notices section and assigned
a number. This number, printed when the message is stored, can be
used as msgno in this and other forms of the SEND command.
- SAVE
- The message is to be stored in the appropriate section of the
broadcast data set until a user logs on or requests messages. If ALL
is specified, the message is stored in the notices section of the
broadcast data set and is retained until explicitly deleted. If userid is
specified, the message is stored in the mail section of the broadcast
data set and deleted after it is sent to the intended user. No attempt
is made to send it immediately, even to those users logged on and
receiving messages.
Note: WAIT and NOWAIT have no effect
when specified with SAVE.
Example:
To submit messages to the broadcast data set before stopping time-sharing
for the day, enter:
se 'time-sharing will close down at 5:00 p.m. today.',save
When you start time-sharing the next day, the messages are available
for users logging on. The above command does not affect those users
currently logged on and receiving messages.
