DOM
Syntax:
DOM(wtoid)
Arguments:
-
wtoid
-
the system identification number of the operator console
message. This number is returned by the
WTO
function when the message is created.
Module Name:
SWXDOM
Service Description:
The DOM function is used to remove messages from the operator
console. Most Write-To-Operator (
WTO
) messages will scroll off of the console display automatically.
However, high-intensity, non-scrollable messages will remain on
the console until the operator initiates an action to remove them
(such as the "K S,1" command) or the program uses the DOM service
to remove them. If you attempt to DOM a message that is no longer
on the console, it is not an error.
Note: It is not necessary to DOM
Write-To-Operator-with-Reply
messages that have been generated by the Shadow REXXTOOLS
WTOR
function. The WTOR function will automatically DOM the message
for you before returning control to your program.
Returned Information:
The MVS DOM macro does not return a useful return code.
Therefore, the DOM function always returns a value of zero. If
you CALL the DOM function the RESULT special variable will
contain zero, also. The RC special variable remains unchanged.
Examples:
-
Call the DOM function to remove a message from the console:
call dom MsgWTID
In this example the message deleted is the one given by the number
contained within the REXX variable, MSGWTID. This variable was
previously set by a call to the
WTO
function.
