I personally don't care for products that want to leave a highlighted non-scrollable message on the console anymore. Too 80's, reminiscent of software back in "those days", and a bit caviler for a software vendor to assume that their software is so important to always have a message displayed? Not picking on specifically on you, Charles, just a general statement. If applicable, why not just leave a WTOR hanging out there that the operator can re-display with a D R,R when needed to respond to it? Heck, we don't even run with a console. Our operations staff uses Netview consoles.
Then the next thing is that your customers start coding MPF to suppress the message, etc.. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma AVP | Manager, Systems Engineering Fifth Third Bank | 1830 East Paris Ave, SE | MD RSCB2H | Grand Rapids, MI 49546 616.653.8429 | fax: 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Charles Mills Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2019 5:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: WTO for message that will require explicit deletion? **CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL** **DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails** I have an APF-authorized batch program that I want to have WTO a message that will hang out at the bottom of the console screen until it is explicitly deleted. Can I do that? The doc for DESC=(3) seems to kind of say that ("If the task can determine when the operator has performed the action, the task should issue a DOM macro to delete the message") but it does not seem to be working for me. (ROUTCDE=(11) FWIW.) Is there a way to do it?
