With PROP, it seems, you can't. I tried to write some automation using PROP about a year ago, and couldn't get it to work. Linux may write multiple lines on the console with a single I/O, separating each line with a newline character. CP writes the output on the console as separate lines. But, if you also send the output to a secondary user and use *MSG to read it (as PROP does), CP does not split up the lines - you get one line per I/O with embedded newlines. PROP seems to have a limit on how long of a line it will scan for a matching message. I just looked to see if this was documented, but I didn't find it.
My alternative for that particular application was to write a CMS Pipeline to separate the lines and look for the string. Commercial automated operations products should work as well.
