TSO SEND command
The TSO SEND command can be enhanced with
the
IKJEESX0
user exit so it can send messages to z/OS® Explorer users.
The IKJEESX0
user exit that is provided by z/OS Explorer supports a subset
of the normal TSO SEND options.{SEND | SE} 'message' USER({* | userid [userid …]}) [{NOW | LOGON | SAVE}]
- The
IKJEESX0
user exit is inFEK.SFEKAUTH
, unless you used a different high-level qualifier during the SMP/E install of z/OS Explorer. - The only required configuration is making the exit available to TSO using STEPLIB, LINKLIST, or LPA.
- The message is delivered to the specified users at all active RSE daemons.
- The single quotation mark (') character is not allowed in the message text as the message must be enclosed in single quotation marks.
- The maximum length of the SEND command including the options and message text is limited to 320 bytes.
- Keyword
NOW
is used to send a message to active users only. This is the default. - Keyword
LOGON
is used to send a message to active users, and to store the message for disconnected users, who will receive the message upon next logon. - Keyword
SAVE
is used to send a message to disconnected users only, who will receive the message upon next logon.
Note: When you are using a Legacy ISPF Gateway to provide the TSO
command line in the z/OS Explorer client,
you can add
FEK.SFEKAUTH
to STEPLIB in rse.env
to
provide the IKJEESX0
user exit to TSO. You must use
LINKLIST or update the user's TSO logon procedure when you are using
an Interactive ISPF Gateway for the TSO command line. For a description
of these system services, see (Optional) Interactive ISPF Gateway.
