Syntax

── ? ─┬───────┬─ MSG ─┬──────┬─────────────────────────────────────────┤
      ├─ LSN ─┤       └─ NW ─┘
      └─ * ───┘

Explanation

The ?MSG command displays the most recent messages associated with tasks that were run under the usercode of the station. Use the NW modifier to retrieve network messages.

The syntax and results of this command are controlled to some extent by the CANDE ALLMSG option. The state of the ALLMSG option is controlled by the system operator.

If ALLMSG is RESET, a syntax error is issued if <LSN> or asterisk (*) is specified. The only information returned pertains to those jobs or tasks originating from the user's LSN with which the usercode is associated.

If ALLMSG is SET, information about any LSN can be requested. The asterisk (*) syntax is a shorthand method for specifying the LSN to which the user is signed on. If no LSN is specified, all information pertaining to jobs or tasks for the user making the request, regardless of origination point, is returned.

The page size of the terminal limits the number of lines returned by the ?MSG command. Use the FULL suffix to request that all messages be returned.
