VMS Help System Services, $BRKTHRUW *Conan The Librarian |
Sends a message to one or more terminals. The $BRKTHRUW service
operates synchronously; that is, it returns to the caller after
the message has been sent to the specified terminals.
For asynchronous operations, use the Breakthrough ($BRKTHRU)
service; $BRKTHRU returns to the caller after queuing the message
request, without waiting for the message to be delivered.
Aside from the preceding, $BRKTHRUW is identical to $BRKTHRU.
For all other information about the $BRKTHRUW service, see the
description of $BRKTHRU.
The $BRKTHRU and $BRKTHRUW services supersede the Broadcast
($BRDCST) service. When writing new programs, you should use
$BRKTHRU or $BRKTHRUW instead of $BRDCST. When updating old
programs, you should change all uses of $BRDCST to $BRKTHRU or
$BRKTHRUW. $BRDCST is now an obsolete system service and is no
longer being enhanced.
