The TELLOP command enables you to send a message to the console. The message appears on the console along with your job and session number and the time you transmitted the message.

Syntax



   TELLOP [text]

Parameters

text

Specifies message text, preceded by a space, that consists of any string of ASCII characters. If you omit this parameter, no message text is sent to the console; however, the console still receives FROM/sessionid.

Operation Notes

  • Usage

    You can enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in break mode. Pressing Break does not affect this command.

  • Command processing

    You can send a message to the console, even if a session is not currently active or if an active session is running in quiet mode. As with messages transmitted with the TELL command, a message sent using the TELLOP command prints as soon as possible without interrupting any console input or input currently in progress.

Example

  • To send a message informing the system operator that backups can begin, enter:

    
    
       TELLOP CRITICAL PROCESSING DONE. OK TO START BACKUPS
