I wouldn't even start to disagree about the wording needing to be clearer since I agree. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Seymour J Metz Sent: Monday, November 7, 2022 9:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Need info Actually, "Message content includes the message header section and the possibly structured message body.".
