Default: ONREAD IGNORE

Usage

IGNORE causes IBM Session Manager to update the status field for the system issuing the read. This can be recognised by '!!!' if the Menu panel has been set to display the s_aa variable. It is displayed on the next return to the Menu.

For DISPMENU, the Menu is displayed immediately.

SELECT causes an immediate transfer to the system requiring intervention.
