Syntax

── ? ── MCS ──<MCS name>───────────────────────────────────────────────%

<MCS name>

──<file title>─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

Explanation

The ?MCS command causes control of the station to be transferred to another MCS. The <MCS name> must designate an MCS declared in the DATACOMINFO file. If an unsaved work file exists, the following message is displayed:

#REMOVE OR SAVE WORKFILE

The unsaved work file must be removed or saved, and the ?MCS command must be re-entered before the station can be transferred.

If a CANDE command is in progress, the following message is displayed:

#STATION IS BUSY

If a remote file is open at the station, the following message is displayed:

#STATION IN USE

If the station is busy or in use, the command is discarded.

The ?MCS command is the same as the MCS command, except that the ?MCS form, as a control command, can be entered while the station is not logged on.
