BRDCST: REPLY/ALL Messages Sent to Bottom of Screen (V00053)

Version: May 1983
Submitted By: Scott Nelson, Marlex Petroleum
Operating System: VAX/VMS
Source Language: MACRO-32, COBOL
Keywords: System Management - VMS
Restrictions: Only simulates REPLY/ALL/BELL. Messages must be 80 characters or less.

Abstract: This utility is used to send REPLY/BELL messages to the last line of the screen (which has been reserved in our applications programs). Very useful to preserve the screen. More useful if set-up as a foreign command:

  • BRO*ADCAST :==$device:[directory]BRDCST
  • BRDCST.COB - Source
  • BRDCSTA.MAR - Generates global constants
  • BRDCSTBLD.COM - Compiles the programs
To send a message use the following format:
  • $ BROADCAST "System coming down at noon"
