You can solicit data from network devices using the NEWS Device Support option from an OCS window or on an unattended basis using the AT and EVERY commands. The NEWS command procedures are a means of passing solicited data to other procedures in an automated operations environment, so that these procedures can act upon the data returned.
When a request for data has been successfully completed and the response returned to the user, the format of the response is similar to that used by VTAM (that is, each line of data is returned as a message with a message number that is unique to that data).
