FN_SBM()
Send broadcast message
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
fn_sbm( <anConn>, <cMsg> ) -> aResult
Arguments
<anConn> is an array of numeric connection IDs (e.g., 1-100 in
NW 286, 1-250 in NW386). If you only want to send to one
connection ID, just send in a one element array, i.e. { nConn }
Returns
An array of result codes as follows:
0 Success (msg stored in target msg buffer)
252 Rejected (target station buffer full)
253 Invalid Connection Number (too high, etc)
255 Blocked (station casted off, or isn't in use)
Description
fn_sbm() sends a broadcast message to the specified logical
connections on the default file server.
Note that a broadcast message on Novell Netware does *not*
contain the userid/connection number of the sender.
It will show up on line 25 of the user's screen, with only
the symbol ">>" in front of it.
A broadcast message can be up to 55 bytes long. Workstations
have one 55-byte buffer available.
Examples
aResult := fn_sbm( { 10, 15, 22 } , "Hi there!" )
Attempts to send msg to stations 10, 15, and 22.
Result codes in aResult (array).
