Non-rolling (no delete) messages do not hang 'at the bottom'. They hang as high as they can based on any other non-rolling messages that preceded them. A non-rolling message that stays toward the bottom is there only because a lot of other non-rolling messages are preventing it from rolling higher.
Getting the attributes right for a non-rolling message can be tricky, including the status of the task that issued it. If the stars are aligned, a message can 'stay on the screen' indefinitely as long as console mode is RD and the task that issued it is still active. . .

I "get" the basic "roll" of the console screen. But haven't I seen WTO messages that "hang" at the bottom of the screen like a WTOR that has not been replied to? Am I confused?

Hi Charles, If the console is in Roll Mode, any message will disappear when n+1 messages appear after any given message (where n is the "height" of your console). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
