One of the ways we test our Syzygy automation products is to simply type the message on the console as if it was a regular command or the entire message we want to test (we also have a process to do this internally from our product, but I'm assuming that the OP isn't a customer so doesn't have it) . Anyway, this does generate a IEE305I message saying that the command ("whatever you typed") is invalid, but our automation products pick it up and acts on it anyway. Of course, there is a parm to turn this feature off, but as of yet, no one has asked us what that parm is. :)
