841906 2010-03-03 20:53:00 nice debate we are having here. Here's my 2 cents worth!

I believe that all the preformat switch messages e.g *DRUGS, *MODA, *FIRE, all operated in FORCED PRINT MODE whereby, if the boxes were all filled in correctly-the required fields, the Wanganui System would accept the switch message from the sender terminal, & force print a record of the switch message sent at the sender terminal, to the Wanganui Mainframe, via the dot matrix printer.

841907 2010-03-03 20:58:00 I dont know about this OHPWA versus OHPWAB thing.

I'd assume that given that the switch message is sent by OHPWA that that's all that would be displayed on any forced print printout of that switch message transaction??

Does a forced print i.e, one that is generated automatically, tag the printout with the screen it was sent from??

841908 2010-03-03 21:11:00 I think the solution to this question is in the nature of the switch message being a FORCED PRINT.

ALL the *FIRE, *MODA, * DRUGS are forced print-they print out automatically off the sending terminal printer, from the terminal sending the switch message.

At the receiving end of the switch message, the receivers terminal automatically prints off that *MODA for e.g, as well.

I do not believe anyone will be able to find a legitimate switch message in an *moda or *FIRE or *DRUGS that shows a 6 character identity, i.e OHPWA versus OHPWAB other than those which are fakes?

841909 2010-03-03 21:12:00 As I have previously mentioned all the terminals I have seen or communicated with or got messages from had a five character ID. Sweep (90)
841910 2010-03-03 22:01:00 Well fire and drugs arent valid ID's anyway. And printing was automatic. It printed whatever message out, if you werent logged in, and on the terminal. But if you were at the terminal (and logged in), you would print the message out.

And when you send a message, you would print the message out (it doesnt print automatically). And yer it shows the sending terminal on the top of the message / prints whatever terminal when the other end receives it (obviously, they need to know WHERE the message came from)

841911 2010-03-03 22:10:00 Fire, Drugs are not valid IDs but are valid in terms of an ENQ. Sweep (90)
841912 2010-03-03 22:25:00 *FIRE, *DRUGS & *MODA were merely the preformat templates for their respective reports. required to be sent as per general instructions-G.Is. Sims (15521)
841913 2010-03-03 22:28:00 If you say so. I dont know, never used them Speedy Gonzales (78)
