EXTERNAL;
If this command option is included, the System Data items GLB.DESTINATION,
GLB.DESTENV and GLB.DESTHOST are checked at runtime to see if an external
Automatic Entry is to be initiated. If not, GLB.STATUS is set to NOEXT when the AUTO;
WRITE command is executed. See the AUTO; WRITE command for further details. (Note
that GLB.HUBSTATUS does not have a value set to it in this situation.)
An external Automatic Entry is initiated when one or more of the following conditions is
false:
$ GLB.DESTINATION is equal to GLB.SELF
$ GLB.DESTHOST is equal to GLB.SELFHOST
$ GLB.DESTENV is equal to GLB.SELFENV
If the Automatic Entry is to an Ispec defined as an External-only Ispec on its Ispec Options
screen, the EXTERNAL; command option is mandatory. If EXTERNAL; is not specified, no
error will be generated if the user attempts an Automatic Entry to another LINC System.
Note: The EXTERNAL; command option is ignored in LDA Run Time.
On OS 2200 based LINC Systems, automatic date/time validation is not
performed by Reports for External-only Ispecs.
In the following example, data is being sent from an Event named RECPT to an Event
named AJNL in the same LINC System.
In the following example, data is being sent from LINC System A to LINC System B.
