The WTOR macro sends a WTOR message to all local system consoles and waits for the reply.
Parameters: WTOR Macro
Specifies the WTOR message to send.
Specifies the replies to look for. You can specify up to five reply text versions (rules), each setting a specific value for the macro return code. Specify enough text to positively identify each version. You can use the asterisk (*) as the wildcard character in the reply text.
Specifies the value to set for the return code if a reply satisfying the rule in the Reply Match Text field is received. Use different values to differentiate between the different replies. The macro return code thus indicates the type of reply received.
Specifies the name of the variable in which to put the received reply.
Specifies the number of seconds to wait for a reply that satisfies one of the rules in the Reply Match Text field. If the specified time expires, the WTOR message is canceled and the return code is set to the value specified in the Wait Time Expiry Return Code field.
Specifies the value to set for the return code if no valid reply is received within the specified time.
