Description

The CURRENT command redisplays the message currently being read. The display begins at the start of the message.


Qualifiers

/ENTIRE (default)

/MESSAGE

/PAGE

/PART

Redisplay the current message starting from the beginning of the message, /ENTIRE, the current message part, /MESSAGE, the current body part of a multipart message, /PART, or the current page (screen) of the current, /PAGE. The /PAGE qualifier is treated as /PART when the editor is invoked to display the message. When the current message is a single-part message, the commands CURRENT/PART, CURRENT/MESSAGE and CURRENT/ENTIRE are equivalent.

/EDIT

/NOEDIT (default)

When /EDIT is specified, the editor will be invoked to display the message. This is the default when PMDF MAIL is invoked with the command PMDF MAIL/EDIT=READ. /NOEDIT prevents the editor from being invoked.

/FILTER_CTRL

/NOFILTER_CTRL (default)

When /FILTER_CTRL is specified, 7-bit and 8-bit control characters in messages are filtered out. Messages which contain such control characters can cause problems with the terminal when they are displayed. When /FILTER_CTRL is specified, such a character is displayed as its hexidecimal value in the format "=XX".

/PAUSE (default)

/NOPAUSE

When displaying the message, after a page of information has been output PMDF MAIL pauses and requests that you press [RETURN] if you want to continue reading. To suppress these prompts, specify /NOPAUSE.

/TRIM_HEADER (default)

/NOTRIM_HEADER

When /NOTRIM_HEADER is specified, all header lines in the message will appear when the message's header is next displayed.
