Replies to pending resource requests at the console.
REPLY pin,reply
=REPLY pin,reply
pin The Process Identification Number of the message
sender. As part of the message requesting the
REPLY, the pin always appears after the second slash
mark (/). In the following example, the pin is 43.
?1615/#S25/43/LDEV# FOR "T" ON TAPE (NUM)?
reply The reply type specified in parentheses in the
message, defined by one of the following
(NUM) Reply must be a logical device number.
(Y/N) Reply must be YES (or Y), or NO (or
N).
(MAX CHARS.=nn) Reply must be a string expression
consisting of nn characters or
less.
User programs that have requested the use of a device and
are waiting for your REPLY/=REPLY remain suspended
indefinitely, and cannot be aborted until a REPLY or a
[Break]/ABORT is issued. If for any reason you cannot
reply as requested (for example, if the particular device is
nonexistent or a special form is unavailable), then
REPLY/=REPLY with 0 if type NUM is requested, or with N if
type Y/N is requested. This returns an error code to the
program and the REPLY/=REPLY is aborted.
The reply will usually take the form (NUM) or (Y/N), since
(MAX CHARS.=nn) is used only for labeled tapes and the
PRINTOPREPLY intrinsic.
If your reply is not of the type specified, an appropriate
error message will be displayed.
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or
in BREAK. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command.
It may be issued only from the logical console, unless
distributed to specific users with the ALLOW or ASSOCIATE
commands.
[Ctrl][A] =REPLY can be used only from the physical console.
It cannot be executed from a job or a program.
