At best, you can request "hardcopy only" but that will also put the message into the SYSLOG and/or OPERLOG as well as the JOBLOG. Since you want to put the message into someone else's JOBLOG (and writing to the JOBLOG is done by the JES based on the address space from which the message is issued), you'll have to figure out how to issue the WTO from that user's address space. I have had a note from another customer requesting the ability to direct a WTO to JOBLOG but I do not have a formal requirement. The ability to direct it to a specific JOBLOG is a new wrinkle, although I suspect that the customer that sent me his request would agree with it. To do any of this will require changes in WTO and both of the JESes, so if you want it, I'd suggest a formal requirement through SHARE. FWIW, there is the ability within an MPF exit to prevent messages from being written to the JOBLOG. There is no equivalent on the WTO. W.
