Some consumer application programs wait indefinitely for messages to arrive. You can use this function in conjunction with
tibems_MVS_BreakFunction to arrange console input to such programs, in order to interrupt them from waiting to receive a message, so they can exit cleanly (see
tibx_MVSConsole_SetConsumer() on page 540).
C programs can receive console command results through a callback function. COBOL programs cannot receive console command results, but can react to the MVS
stop and
shut commands.
