Operation Notes

This command sends a message to the system console. The message text appears on the system console, preceded by the time it was transmitted and your job/session number. Like messages transmitted between users (TELL command), this message is printed as soon as possible without interrupting any console input/output currently in progress. The message can be sent to the system console, even if no session is logged on or if an active session is running in QUIET mode.

Use

This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break has no effect on this command.

Example

To ask the system operator to mount a tape, enter:

 TELLOP PLS MOUNT MYTAPE,VERSION 1
