 Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2005 2:33 am Post subject: Beep through REXX |
 |
|
| Quote: | | I have developed a chat utility in which I have a panel. If I type some text on the command line and press enter, the entered text would be written into a file, read back , populated in a ISPF table and displayed using TBDISPL. If I press Enter without any text, the rexx would just read the file, populate the table and display it. This holds good for both the users who are chatting. |
One problem with this is if the users are in another screen, they would not know of any new message. Would it be possible to produce a "BEEP" in mainframe when a new message comes in the file or when other chat users type a new message and presses enter ?
Please let me know if there is a way to do it. |

| One way could be to do a small TSO SEND - "NEW MESSAGE". I don't know if it is too annoying to use. |

| Don't they still have to press ENTER or PF/PA key to see the "new message"? |

Thanks Brian, Dibakar and Taltyman.

ISRZ001/ISRZ002 would give out a beep but then, it has to be invoked from the users program. What I was thinking of was , one person typing a message and all others, getting a beep. I dont think that is possible with ISRZ001.

About the TSO SEND, as Taltyman points out , an Enter has to be pressed for the message to be thrown. and also it would be an annoying thing to use SEND for every message.
I was trying to do something like broadcasting a beep to many users just like how a msg is broadcasted. I am not too sure if this can be done.
Anyways, thanks to all for pouring in your points. |
