OLQBatch Notification

You can use OLQBNOTE to notify a DC user that a batch job has completed. If the specified user is not signed on at the time, the notification will be discarded. OLQBNOTE runs central version and accepts one or more control cards of the format:

USER= user-id,MESSAGE= message,BEEP

• MESSAGE can be shortened to MSG or MES.
• USER can be shortened to USE.
• BEEP sounds the terminal alarm, is optional, and should not be used against a non-3270 terminal.
• Message should be enclosed in quotation marks (' ') if it contains blanks and double quotation marks (" ") if it contains single quotation marks.

For online batch submission, the user ID may be specified as $USER. CA OLQ substitutes the DC user ID in its place upon job submission.

To use the notification facility, you must define the following during system generation:
