The /BRO command broadcasts a message to terminals on the CA WA CA 7 Edition system. The message is queued until the receiving terminal user requests display.
Note: The /MSG command sends a message to one specific terminal.
For a CA WA CA 7 Edition virtual terminal to receive a broadcast message, specify the TERM option or connect the terminal.
This command has the following format:
/BRO,{M|MSG}=text[,{T|TERM}=ALL]
Defines the text of the broadcast message. MSG and M can be used interchangeably, but one or the other is required. If commas are included as part of the text, enclose the entire message text in parentheses.
Limits: 1 to 60 alphanumeric characters
(Optional) In general, do not use this parameter. This parameter affects the way a broadcast message is sent to the VTAM virtual terminals. If not specified, only those virtual terminals that are connected to CA WA CA 7 Edition get the message. If specified, all the VTAM virtual terminals get the message. This parameter can cause excessive space usage of the scratch queue.
Default: Virtual terminals that are connected to CA WA CA 7 Edition only.
Limits: 3 alphabetic characters
