Question
Which MVS command is used to communicate with TSO/E users
A. SEND
B. TALK
C. HELLO
D. RECEIVE
Answer
A. SEND
Explanation
The SEND command is used in MVS (Multiple Virtual Storage) to communicate with TSO/E (Time Sharing Option/Extensions) users. It allows you to send messages to specific users or broadcast messages to all active TSO/E users.
Some key things to know about the SEND command:
- The syntax is SEND ‘message text’ USER(userid) or SEND ‘message text’ ALL to send to a specific user ID or broadcast to all users
- You can send messages from the operator console, from within a program, or from ISPF
- SEND messages show up on the TSO/E user’s screen and can optionally trigger the user’s attention exit
- SEND does not provide two-way communication – for that you would use TALK which allows real-time messages between a TSO/E user and the operator console
The other options are incorrect because:
- TALK is for two-way real-time communication, not one-way messages
- HELLO is not a valid MVS command
- RECEIVE is used to retrieve data sets, not send messages
So in summary, SEND is the MVS command used to communicate one-way informational messages to TSO/E users, making A the correct answer. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional mainframe questions!
