Writing to the OPER Console
These four procedures allow a process to communicate with the
operator's console (OPER).
DOPER
%externalroutine DOPER(%integer CONSOLE, %string(255)S)
This writes the string S to Dirlog and to the OPER. CONSOLE is not
used and should be set to zero.
DOPERPROMPT
%externalroutine DOPER PROMPT(%integer CNSL, %string(255)S)
This procedure is used when an interactive process is started from an
OPER
DOPERR
%externalroutine DOPERR(%string(23)TXT, %integer FN, RES)
This procedure is used to write a short error message to the OPER
console. FN is used to select a value from the list of names below and
the text written is of the form:
TXT sp NAME(FN) sp RES
%CONSTINTEGER TOP = 15
%CONSTSTRING(4)%ARRAY NAME(1:TOP) = %C
{..1}"CRTE",
{..2}"CONN",
{..3}"PERM",
{..4}"DSFI",
{..5}"DSCN",
{..6}"STOP",
{..7}"GTDA",
{..8}"DFST",
{..9}"RNAM",
{.10}"SPOL",
{.11}"XFER",
{.12}"DNDA",
{.13}"CNDA",
{.14}"GFND",
{.15}"DSTR"
OPER
%systemroutine OPER(%integer CONSOLE, %string(255)S)
This procedure causes the text string S to be displayed on logical
Oper console number CONSOLE (taking as many lines of scrolled Oper
output as necessary).
