I am trying to interface with some existing automation. The existing automation reads WTO messages.

My process would be on an UNIX machine. I can start a job on the mainframe. I just am not aware of an easy way to create the WTO message.

A message with DISPLAY UPON CONSOLE might also work in COBOL.

Hi Bill,

Would the value shown by a /*MESSAGE statement be seen by automation?

Been way too long. . . :oops:

A /*MESSAGE text does appear on SYSLOG (not sure what the routcodes are) but it's at reader time. Probably not what they want.

Unless this could be written to the internal reader in a dummy job. . .
