<h1 class="topictitle1">Send messages to a system user</h1>
<div><p>Several commands can be used to send messages to system users.</p>
<div class="section"> <p> </p>
<ul><li><span class="cmdname">Send Message (SNDMSG)</span></li>
<li><span class="cmdname">Send Break Message (SNDBRKMSG)</span></li>
<li><span class="cmdname">Send Program Message (SNDPGMMSG)</span></li>
<li><span class="cmdname">Send User Message (SNDUSRMSG)</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="cmdname">Send Program Message (SNDPGMMSG)</span> and <span class="cmdname">Send
User Message (SNDUSRMSG)</span> can only be used in batch or interactive
OPM programs or ILE procedures. These commands cannot be entered on a command
line. The <span class="cmdname">Send Message (SNDMSG)</span> command sends an informational
or inquiry message to the system operator message queue (QSYSOPR), a display
station message queue, or a user message queue. You can send an informational
message to more than one message queue at a time. But you can send an inquiry
message to only one message queue at a time. The message is delivered by
the delivery type specified for the message queue. The message does not interrupt
the user unless the message queue is in break mode.</p>
<p>The following <span class="cmdname">Send
Message (SNDMSG)</span> command is sent by a display station user to the
system operator: </p>
<pre>SNDMSG MSG('Mount tape on device TAP1') TOUSR(*SYSOPR)</pre>
<p>The <span class="cmdname">Send Break Message (SNDBRKMSG)</span> command
sends an immediate message from a workstation, a program, or a job to one
or more display stations to be delivered in the break mode regardless of what
delivery mode the receiver's message queue is set to. This command can be
used to send a message only to display station message queues. You should
use the <span class="cmdname">Send Break Message (SNDBRKMSG)</span> command when sending
any message that requires the immediate attention of a display station user.
You cannot ensure the message will cause a break, because each job has control
by using the BRKMSG parameter on the <span class="cmdname">Change Job (CHGJOB)</span> command.</p>
<p>If
you send an inquiry message, you can specify that the reply be sent to a message
queue other than that of your display station.</p>
<p>The following <span class="cmdname">Send
Break Message (SNDBRKMSG)</span> command is sent by the system operator
to all the display station message queues: </p>
<pre>SNDBRKMSG MSG('System going down in 15 minutes')
TOMSGQ(*ALLWS)</pre>
<p>The disadvantage of sending this message is that it is sent
to <em>all</em> users, not just those users who are active at the time the message
is sent.</p>
