[comp.lang.asm370] Using SIO to display messages

KXH105@PSUVM.BITNET ("Ken Hornstein 862-7007", 814) (09/05/90)

  I have an interrupt routine to display messages I am receiving from a CTC.
I am using SIO to display these messages on the console.  As we all know,
if you are using a full-screen application like XEDIT, SIO breaks through it
and you lose all updates since the last console attention.  Is there a way
to "queue" such output so that it doesn't appear until a console attention
occurs (like normal messages)?

---
Is there any truth to the rumor that everything is really okay?

HI,

              SOLUTION:

              WHEN SCREEN IS IN FSSM MODE, EXECUTE FOLLOWING COMMAND;

              CP MSG * hello world\n....#ATTN

              SAME 'CP WNG', THIS MSG APPEARS ON SCREEN IMMEDIATELY,
              AND CONSOLE ATTENTION INTERRUPT OCCURS.
              ERROR CODE X'8E' PLACES TO CSW+4.
              AT THIS TIME, FSSM PROGRAM (XEDIT,GDDM,DMS,FLIST..)
              MUST REINITIALIZE SCREEN (EXAMPLE 'CP RESET 009' AND
              ERASE/WRITE COMMANDS).

             ALL RIGHT,

             HOW CAN WE KNOW SCREEN MODE (FSSM OR CONSOLE MODE)?
             THINK A WAY FOR THIS PROBLEM..
