PAGESTAT() (BOOLEAN)
Function
Determine if the current user has paged the SysOp.
Syntax
PAGESTAT() No arguments are required
Return Type & Value
BOOLEAN
Returns TRUE if the user has paged the SysOp (or PAGEON has been issued),
FALSE otherwise (or PAGEOFF has been issued).
Remarks
One of the features of PCBoard where change is often requested is the
operator page facility. Some people want to be able to configure
multiple ranges of availability per day, some want a different sounding
page bell, longer or shorter page attempts, etc, etc. This function,
along with the CHAT, PAGEON and PAGEOFF statements, allow you to
implement an operator page in any way desired.
Examples
IF (PAGESTAT()) THEN
PRINTLN "You have already paged the SysOp,"
PRINTLN "please be patient."
ELSE
PAGEON
PRINTLN "The SysOp has been paged, continue"
ENDIF
