INTQUE Across ROF Sessions

Since INTQUE is a standard command, a process in one system can use INTQUE across a ROF session to talk directly to a process on the remote system. To do this, the process (or OCS operator) must know the target process identifier in the remote system and ROUTE an INTQUE command to the remote system.

This delivers an INTQUE message to the dependent response or request queue of the target process, as if the target were executing in the same system.

If the target process is executing in the remote system as a result of a ROF command, that is, if it was started in the remote system by the command:

ROUTE SOL2 START PROC2

then PROC2 cannot use INTQUE to talk back to the local system. Instead, it uses &WRITE, which in a ROF environment causes all the command output generated by a remote process to flow back to the user ID environment in the local system.
