Examples of the command statement

Example 1

//**VARY,280,OFFLINE
//**V,281,OFFLINE
//**VARY,282,OFF

//**V,280-282,OFF

In this example, the first three statements each vary one device offline. Alternatively, the fourth statement varies all three devices offline. If you place these statements in card reader 01C, for example, and that card reader is currently not in use, the operator would enter through the operator console:

   *X CR,IN=01C

Example 2

//**MESSAGE,CN1,OUTPUT FROM JOB X REQUIRES SPECIAL CONTROLS

This statement instructs the operator from a remote location. Place this statement before the first job in the input stream.
