System option #13 determines the default terminal number for the SEND statement.

If you set option #13, the default terminal number is 254, and the message being sent is inserted into the group message queue. Option #1, which also sets the default terminal number, is ignored.

If you don’t set this option or option #1 and you don’t specify a terminal number in a SEND statement, the default terminal number is the number of the terminal running the program. The message is inserted into the terminal’s local message queue.
