Note: For more information about broadcasting and broadcast-parms syntax, see "How to Broadcast System Tasks".

L

Sends the message to the specified logical data terminal.

lterm-id The ID of a logical terminal.

D

destination-id The ID of a destination. A destination can identify a group of logical terminals or a group of users.
