You remember correctly, those messages have been with the product since
UCC1 days.

If I remember correctly (and I don't remember if I do ;-), this may have been with the product since UCC1 days. Anyway, (and this I definitely remember), years ago we used to run without any UPS whatsoever, not in any form. We took hard power hits fairly often and the machine would forget what time it was. There was more than once that these messages reminded some flustered (or green)operator that they should have set the TOD. In those days we IPL'ed at least once a week on a planned basis, too. IEFTMS8 is a WTOR, the others are just WTOs.
This code was again useful for those shops that set their TOD forward for Y2K testing. Good safety net on the way back.
The only usefulness we find for it now is as confirmation that TMS is up. We
don't IPL very often anymore either, but I know some who still IPL weekly.
