Usage Notes
Privilege Class: C, G
Use SEND to send console input to a virtual machine. As a Class G user, you can
send input to a disconnected virtual machine for which you provide secondary
console services. As a Class C user, you can send input to any virtual machine.
You may enter the following:
v CP commands
v Virtual machine commands
v Responses to virtual machine or CP messages
v Other virtual machine data, as required.
CP
userid
prtid
text
1 CP has no meaning when prtid is specified.
indicates that CP should process the input text on behalf of the receiving virtual
machine. If the first four characters of the text you want to send are your logical
escape character, the receiver’s logical line end character, and CP, then you
need not specify the CP operand to send a CP command. The same holds true
if the receiver’s virtual machine is already in CP READ. If you specify the CP
operand with no text, the receiving virtual machine is placed in console function
mode, just as if a #CP command were entered.
userid
identifies the virtual machine that is to receive the console input.
SEND
prtid
indicates that the command is to be passed for processing to the print server
virtual machine designated by prtid. The print server virtual machine that
receives and processes the SEND command also provides prtid. The operand
prtid is one to eight alphanumeric characters. If you specify four or fewer
characters for the prtid, prtid cannot contain all hexadecimal characters,
because CP then interprets prtid as rdev.
text
is the data that is passed to the disconnected virtual machine as console input.
Mixed DBCS data may be used as input text.
1. Enter send cp userid text command to reply to message HCP150A, USER
userid HAS ISSUED A CP READ. You receive this message only if you are the
secondary user for the virtual machine.
