Attended mode

Use when an operator is on duty. You can optionally perform autoaction database searches to respond to messages and execute actions.

In attended mode, CP-AMS can be on or off. You specify the default during the installation of the OMKEY background run.

Casual mode

Use when no operator is present. Devices such as tape drives and printers can be shut down. Unattended mode includes the casual mode functions. As an option, CP-AMS aborts any nonprivileged user program that issues a read-and-reply message (except a @MSG,W message) that does not match a pattern in the active autoaction database. (A nonprivileged program does not have the COM$PRV privilege.)

In addition, if a read-and-reply message generated with a @MSG,W statement does not match a pattern in the autoaction database, CP-AMS automatically issues a rejection response to the message.

Unattended mode

Use when no operator is present. Devices such as tape drives and printers can be shut down. Unattended mode includes the casual mode functions. As an option , CP-AMSaborts any nonprivileged user program that issues a read-and-reply message (except a @MSG,W message) that does not match a pattern in the active autoaction database. (A nonprivileged program does not have the COM$PRV privilege.)
