Message Manipulation

One of the primary functions of Control-O is message manipulation. Messages sent to the console can be suppressed, forwarded, translated, and so on, depending on the actions specified in Control-O rules. A message can also be used to trigger other actions, such as forcing a Control-M job, or issuing an z/OS command.

Control-O can also send WTO and WTOR messages:

• WTO messages are sent through the Shout facility, described immediately below.
• WTOR messages are sent through a DO ASKOPER statement, described in DO ASKOPER: Automated Console Action Parameter.
