494.0. "Modifying eventlist from dollar prompt" by YUPPY::ROLLERS () Tue Nov 29 1994 17:22

    Anyone,
    
    Is it possible to add lines/remove lines into an Eventlist from the
    dollar ($) prompt. We would like to use the eventlist to track running
    jobs on a system and remove the entry once the job has finished.

Well, I gues you could do it, but it would take a little work on your part because you would have to create an action routine. Basically, this is what you need to do... 1) Create an action which stores the sequence numbers of all the events that have occured. 2) Using CMUserSendEvent you can generate an event from DCL simply by invoking a program to "poke" an event into ENS. 3) Your action created in step (1) would get this event from ENS by which time it will have a sequence number attached. 4) You can now look the sequence number up in your saved list and using another image invoked from DCL you should now be able to acknowledge and clear this event. Whilst all this is happening, any eventlist's running will receive the event and do the updates based on the acknowledge and clear. We are contemplating some major changes to the API which will make all this MUCH easier in V2.0 Hope this helps. Cheers, Phil

	Max, How do you add/remove lines from an eventlist using SNS? Cheers, Phil

If you read the above extract about what Simon wants to achieve, SNS is exactly the sort of tool digital already has to display, update and delete messages on a display screen. Messages can be invoked from programs, DCL or even PCM. Why duplicate that funcionality? Regards, Max.
