Description

The REPLY option specifies the type of message to be issued by Universal WTO:

  • WTO (do not request message reply)
  • WTOR (request and wait for message reply)

For a WTOR message, the length of time to wait for a reply can be limited with the TIMEOUT option. The maximum reply length is 119 characters. The reply is written to Universal WTO's standard output file.

Note

A valid operator reply to a WTOR message can be zero characters. In this case, nothing is written to standard output.
