Re: Generating WTO Messages to do message suppression
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. :)

Re: Generating WTO Messages to do message suppression
I like using a system rexx exec for this, it can easily produce MLWTOs for
testing automation:
/* REXX TEST - Rexx for issuing test messages for testing */
ConnectId = 'firstline';
Rc=AXRMLWTO(strip('CSQX548E !Q4 CSQXRESP Messages sent to local dead-letter
queue, 467'), 'Connectid','d');
Rc=AXRMLWTO(strip('channel QQM_ACCESS.TO.CSQ4'), 'Connectid','d');
Rc=AXRMLWTO(strip('reason=2053 (MQRC_Q_FULL)'), 'Connectid','de');
Return

Hi Mark, Another possibility ... Run DFSMSdss (ADRDSSU)and use the WTO/WTOR Command. Regards,.

Re: Generating WTO Messages to do message suppression
Tony, I are right about the extra plus sign... I used this trick in the past to attack the z. If you want to remove the plus sign, you can write a system rexx exec to use axrwto.

Generating WTO Messages to do message suppression
Is there a way to generate WTO messages via a batch job to check message suppression? At my last site, where we had NetView, we used a CLIST (or was it REXX), to do this.
