MESSAGE WAITING

Explanation

A message is waiting to be displayed, but the message area is full. This message appears:

  • If automatic message deletion is not in effect (DEL=N)
  • If automatic message deletion was in effect (DEL=Y) but no messages were marked for deletion
  • If the screen is full of intervention required (INT REQ) messages or write to operator with reply messages (WTOR)
  • When the console is in hold mode, and has a message waiting

System action

Unless automatic message deletion is in effect, new messages to be displayed wait until the operator deletes messages from the message area. The system removes this message from the screen when there is enough room in the message area to display all new messages.

Operator response

Delete messages that are no longer pending from the message area by entering the CONTROL command or by using the light pen or the cursor. Press the ENTER key on the console to verify the deletion request. In conversational mode, press ENTER a second time to verify the deletion request.
