Write messages to CONSOLE in Easytrieve

Post by vijay krish » Tue Mar 13, 2012 11:12 pm

I need to write messages to CONSOLE in Easytrieve similar to what we do in COBOL using DISPLAY "MESSAGE" UPON CONSOLE. Can any help me on how to do this in Easytrieve? Is this possible.

Suggest you consider some other way to present the "message".

Well-managed systems no longer permit programs to display messages on the console. . .

If someone really believes this should be shown on the console, suggest you write a very simple COBOL modle that is called and writes whatever has been passed (say 80 bytes) on the console. This one little module could be called from any Easytrieve code.
Have a good one

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. System has some mail alerts triggered when it is written to console. I am not sure how this is done. I have to write it to the console where they will take care. Thanks a lot again for your time.
