If people want these WRITE messages going to SYSLOG and put in a SHARE request for that functionality, __PLEASE__ ask that it be optional. I get enough crap messages on my z/OS SYSLOG as it is. To the point that I write them to a data set which I then send to my Linux desktop simply so that I can process them and strip out the messages which are useless just so that I can browse something reasonable.
