A series of system variables that contain the current broadcast lines.
The system supports a maximum of four broadcast lines for use by the EASINET feature. They are:
The text of these broadcast lines is set using Broadcast Services.
The &BROLINE1, &BROLINE2, &BROLINE3, and &BROLINE4 system variables is included in any full-screen panel. When this panel is displayed, the current broadcast text associated with that line (if any) is displayed in place of the &BROLINEn variable.
If the panel is displayed by the EASINET component, use of any one of these variables signifies that the panel is to receive updated broadcasts as they are dispatched from Broadcast Services.
Examples: &BROLINEn
&BROLINE1 &BROLINE2
Notes:
The &BROLINEn variables is positioned without restriction on the panel. The maximum text that is displayed for a broadcast line is 78 characters. Therefore, the &BROLINEn variables are normally aligned at the left hand side of the panel. If there is insufficient room for the text, it is truncated.
The &BROLINEn variables apply to both general and specific broadcasts.
Under EASINET, a broadcast causes immediate redisplay of any candidate panel that contains any of the &BROLINE variables, if the panels are displayed by EASINET. Users logged on to a region have these variables refreshed at the next panel display.
Note: For more information, see the #OPT statement, described in the chapter “Designing Interactive Panels (Panel Services)” in the Network Control Language Programming Guide and the $EASILOGON panel in the panels data set.
