It probably was not intended to go to the console.

Most of these messages begin life as a WTO with ROUTCDE=11, which is
really intended for the programmer or application user. Unfortunately,
some -- perhaps many -- sites reconfigure console routing so that these
messages also go to route code 2 (or similar). This means that "general
bumpf" goes to the console as well as to the job log. This can be a
major annoyance to the operators, and the annoyance is exacerbated by
the fact that the messages were never intended to go to the console in
the first place.
