Usage:

mme     gerout
vfd     18/STATUS,o6/27,h12/TERMID
bci     1,NAME

Where:

STATUS

TERMID
is the terminal ID of the line to be switched.
NAME
is the remote inquiry name of the program to which control should be switched.

Description:

This version of MME GEROUT switches control of a DAC line to another program. After the call returns, the word indicated by STATUS will indicate the status of the operation, as shown below.

Bit 29:  if on, line logically disconnected, connected
         to another slave program
    30:  if on, line logically disconnected, waiting to
         connect to slave program
    31:  zero
    32:  if on, line busy, cannot be switched
    33:  zero
    34:  if on, line no longer connected to system
    35:  if on, BREAK received, line switch requeest
         ignored.  BREAK status is turned off.

If the remote inquiry NAME is "TSS", MME GEROUT checks to see if the line was originally connected to TSS. If so, it will attempt to return the line to the originating TSS copy and UST. Otherwise, the line will be connected to the first available copy of TSS.
