#station-name Segment Usage

The user may want special network documentation to be automatically routed to predetermined workstations when the network enters the queue. The wanted station names are defined as part of the documentation with a #station-name statement. The station name that is to receive the documentation would be placed in the #station-name statement immediately following the #. In this case, a #station-name record, indicating the name of the station, should be entered immediately ahead of the #QDESC record, as follows:

(A) #station-name1

(B) #QDESC
     .
    special network documentation for station-name1
     .
    #END,station-name1
     .
(A) #station-name2

(B) #QDESC
     .
    special network documentation for station-name2
     .
    #END,station-name2
     .
(A) #station-namen

(B) #QDESC
     .
    special network documentation for station-namen
     .
    #END,station-namen

Documentation lines can be entered between points (A) and (B), but these lines would only be displayed through the LPROS command or DB.4 panels. The lines between #QDESC and #END, however, are automatically sent to the indicated workstations when the network enters the queue.

Note: If #QDESC documentation is to be displayed at a station that is not a printer, module SASSMSGS must be changed for message SFEP-11. LT=*PRNTR* must be changed to either LT=*ALL* or LT=station-name. Also notice that station names should match station names defined in the STANIDS keyword of the STATIONS statement in the initialization file.
