When
A message (not a PNR) waits in a message queue — from Amadeus, an airline or another office — or you must send one.
Steps
| # | Entry | What it does | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | QS97 (or the message queue in QT) | Opens the first message. | Read it. |
| 2 | QN | Removes it and shows the next. | Done. |
| 3 | QD | Moves it to the bottom. | Later. |
| 4 | QI | Ignores and exits. | |
| 5 | QU | Redisplays the message. | Screen cleared. |
| 6 | QE97 then Enter, MESSAGE TEXT// | Places a free-text message on queue 97. | Tell your own office. |
| 7 | QE/MIA1A0980/97 then Enter, MESSAGE TEXT// | Message to another office's queue 97. | Tell another office. |

Traps
- Messages can only go on message queues, PNRs only on PNR queues.
