SHOUT / DO SHOUT Differences

Statements SHOUT and DO SHOUT are similar but have the following differences:

• Statement DO SHOUT is applied only if the accompanying WHEN criteria are satisfied. Therefore statement DO SHOUT does not contain subparameters for specifying when to perform the shout.

  By contrast, statement SHOUT requires that a value be specified (in statement WHEN) indicating when to shout the message. Messages can be shouted when the mission ends OK, ends NOTOK, or does not finish executing on time.

• A SHOUT statement appears in each mission scheduling definition. Statement DO SHOUT does not appear unless specified. To specify a DO SHOUT statement, type SHOUT in an empty DO field and press Enter.
• The SHOUT URG subparameter is equivalent to the DO SHOUT URGENCY subparameter.
• The SHOUT MSG subparameter is equivalent to the DO SHOUT=msg subparameter.
