I have tried to use "Display ... upon console" to display meesage on production console to notify operator for some warning message, but operator reponded me they did see nothing, why?

Does this "Display... upon console" work on this way? or it just sends to SYSOUT? Please help

Thanks. Maybe I need to make my question clear.

I am trying to display a messgae to console through a batch program. I am able to do it,but problem here is the messages displayed in console are not highlighted and so the thrown messages are unnoticed. please help me in knowing How to highlight the display message when throwing to console through batch program.

I could tell you how on a VSE system, but I don't think that is the same for MVS......

A Write-To-Operator (WTO) macro has to be coded in Assembler and called. The WTO call needs to specify the proper attributes for the consoles that will allow it to be hightlighted and non-deletable.

A consult with your System Programmers will be required at this point.
