Specifies a broadcast/message identifier for any session.
This common session parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement), and APPL (see APPL statement).
If a broadcast/message identifier has been specified then it enables a user to receive a broadcast or message which has been sent using either of these commands:
BRO 'message' BRDVAR id-string
MSG 'message' BRDVAR id-string
The session does not need to be active for the message to be received. For details of the BROADCAST command, see 'Privileged user commands' in the Technical Reference manual.
