Hi Sergio, I am not totally convinced that I understand what the requirement is despite having reviewed the many posts which seem to focus on an Assembler solution.
Whilst I would probably do it in Assembler, if the need is for an 'easy to maintain' solution, then from a COBOL perspective DISPLAY UPON CONSOLE followed by ACCEPT FROM CONSOLE should logically achieve the same result as WTOR in Assembler. If the message to be displayed is input via the PARM field the message length will be governed by PARM length JCL restrictions, but the limit in COBOL for displaying to the console is 100 bytes in any event.
