Function

The INFORM-OPERATOR command sends a message to the operator terminal. The message is by default sent to the recipient defined by the MSGDEST system parameter.

If the message text starts with the “<“ character, the next character is checked. If this character is a valid authorization code (no distinction is made between uppercase/lowercase) then the message is sent to all the terminals to which this authorization code is assigned. If the next character is not defined as an authorization code, the message is also sent in accordance with the MSGDEST system parameter.

The user can also request a response from the operator (WAIT-RESPONSE operand). The task is put on hold until the response arrives.
