/WAIT

The /WAIT or /W command causes RMVCP to wait for a VCP message from the remote computer before returning to you with a RMVCP prompt.

When any VCP command is passed through to the remote A"Series, or when the RMVCP /BREAK command is issued, the VCP interactive session goes into a read state waiting for a response from the remote A"Series VCP program. If no response arrives after one time"out period (about 10 seconds), a RMVCP prompt is printed and control returns to you.

The /WAIT command causes RMVCP to enter the read state without a timeout and to wait until a VCP message arrives from the remote node. To regain control of RMVCP, you must enter the system break command:

CM> BR RMVCP

which causes RMVCP to send a break message to VCPMT.

VCP Messages From the Remote Node/Client

VCP messages arriving at the server from the remote node during a VCP interactive session are displayed on the server terminal in the format below. Refer to Appendix A for a list of LANVCP error codes.

If an RMVCP prompt is displayed and RMVCP is waiting for input from you, the VCP messages are queued up and displayed on the terminal when the RMVCP read completes. The user command typed in response to the RMVCP prompt is ignored. You are informed that a message arrived while the user read was pending.
