OPS/REXX Built-in Functions › OPSSEND Function › Option Argument

Option Argument

The option argument is not required and is one of the following codes. Messages arriving at a remote copy of CA OPS/MVS through an MSF link are always logged in the CA OPS/MVS OPSLOG Browse data area, so the codes define the additional processing done for those messages.

A

Specifies that the AOF of the copy of CA OPS/MVS on the receiving system processes the message. When the system receives the message, that message can cause rules to execute on the receiving system unless those rules use the variable MSG.SYSID to determine the system ID of the system on which the message was originally written to the operator.

B

Specifies that the message is sent only to the OPSLOG Browse data area. B is the default value for the option argument.

C

The message is re-WTOed on the receiving system, but the CA OPS/MVS product does not subject it to AOF processing. Routecodes, desccodes, or console name route the message on the receiving system when you specify C as the option.

D

This code, used in DOM rules rather than in message rules, transmits DOM events (which delete high-intensity, non-scrolling operator messages) from a local system to a remote system or systems in a multi-system environment linked with the MSF console consolidation facility.

Use OPSSEND with an option value of D to delete high-intensity WTOs that were sent to remote systems using OPSSEND with the C or W code, and which would therefore not be affected by DOM rules running on the local (originating) system or on their own systems.

L

Specifies that the message is re-WTOd on the receiving system as if the message were a local message on that system, but CA OPS/MVS does not subject it to AOF processing. Routecodes, desccodes, or console name will route the message on the receiving system when you specify L as the option.

The SYSNAME column in OPSLOG on the receiving system will indicate the system that the message was sent from but the SYSLOG/OPERLOG will show the message as being issued on the receiving system. This differs from option C which issues the message as a "foreign" or "re-issued" WTO on the receiving system

W

Tells OPS/REXX to reissue a WTO for the message on the receiving system, and tells the AOF to process the message as though the receiving system had generated it. The value of the MSG.SYSID variable for a rule processing the re-WTOed message is that of the system where the rule is running, because that is where the WTO is issued.
