reply

Replies to a job or job stream prompt.

You must have reply access to the named or global prompt. To reply to an unnamed prompt, you must have reply access to prompts, and reply access to the associated job or job stream.

Syntax

{reply | rep}
     { promptname | [[folder/]workstation#]msgnum}
     ;reply
     [;noask]

Arguments

promptname
Specifies the name of a global prompt. Wildcard characters are permitted.
[folder/]workstation
Specifies the name of the workstation on which an unnamed prompt was issued.
msgnum

reply
Specifies the reply, either Y for yes or N for no.
noask
Specifies not to prompt for confirmation before taking action on each qualifying prompt.

Comments

If the reply is Y, dependencies on the prompt are satisfied. If the reply is N, the dependencies are not satisfied and the prompt is not reissued.

Prompts can be replied to before they are issued. You can use the showprompts command to display all prompts, whether or not they have been issued.

Examples

To reply Y to the global prompt arpmt, run the following command: 
reply arprmt;y
To reply N to message number 24 on workstation site4, run the following command: 
rep site4#24;n
