?REPORT

Syntax

── ? ── REPORT ──<text>────────────────────────────────────────────────%

Explanation

The ?REPORT command is valid only from schedule stations. A command of the form ?REPORT <text> sends the text as a message to any interactive CANDE stations that are logged on with the same usercode as the schedule session. This command acts as a restricted abbreviation of the ?TO <usercode> <text> command (where the <usercode> is understood). A number sign (#) acknowledgment appears in the schedule output file if the command is successful; a “#NOT ON” message appears if no interactive session with that usercode is underway.

Note: Be aware that when you use the ?REPORT command and your system is running multiple copies of CANDE, ?REPORT returns the information only for the copy of CANDE you are currently logged on to. For more information about multiple copies of CANDE, refer to General Information.
