The macro used is a simple assembler WTO macro with text, nothing fancy. It is unfortunately not feasible to permanently change to a PUTLINE since the primary usage of the WTO output is in existing production batch processes, not TSO or Rexx usage.
I guess I could cobble up a temporary version for my immediate need though. Thanks for the url's.

It depends on the macro used to create the message. See below snippet from the manual: However, OUTTRAP does trap output from the PUTLINE macro with DATA or INFOR keywords. Therefore, if you write any command processors, you may want to use the PUTLINE macro rather than the TPUT or WTO macros. z/OS TSO/E Programming Guide <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.ikja300/ikj2k200htm*ikj2k200 > describes how to write a TSO/E command processor. For information about the PUTLINE macro, see z/OS TSO/E Programming Services <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.ikja300/ikj2b200htm*ikj2b200 > . בתאריך יום ג׳, 9 במאי 2023 ב-20:37 מאת Seymour J Metz <sme...@gmu.edu>: > See the CONSOLE facility in TSO.
