Enabling the MSG Instruction for Continuous Operation
The message instruction is enabled during the initial processor program
scan and each time the message completes. For example, when the DN or
ER bit is set.
Enabling the MSG Instruction Via User Supplied Input
This is an example of controlling when the message instruction operates.
Input I:1/0 could be any user-supplied bit to control when messages are
sent. Whenever I:1/0 is set and message MG11:0 is not enabled, the
message instruction on rung 0001 is enabled.
