Hi there !

First you have to convert the contents of the Register in a working Field.
So that you can Print ore Read it in Charakter Format.

Then move this field to the specific Point in your WTO-Command, starting at WTO+8Bytes.

MVC WTOCMD01+xx(YY),Field
WTOCMD01 WTO 'THIS IS REGISTER-03 xxxxxxx'

Hope that helps, UmeySan

Hi !

@ futuredba
I think you forgot to convert the content of the register to dezimal and unpack it to charakter. Use CVD and UNPK first. Then move it into the WTO.

@ gokuldass
Normaly the WTO is in SYS1.MACLIB, so there's no need.
Check your mac-libs.

Hi UmeySan,

I was changing the content of reg to char value. then also it isnt displaying at my console. however the program is running error free.

I guess i m missing a DD stmt. The DD stmts i m using in my jcl are SYSLOUT DD SYSOUT=*
SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*

Do i need to add any more dd stmt????

Thanks in advance...

Hi !

@ futuredba

When your Job is on SDSF OutputQueue, please have a look at JESMSGLG.
WTO means WriteToOperator. It's not written to Sysout. It's written to Console. You can specify a RoutCode for routing the message to a specific OperatorConsole. Ask your SystemProgrammer for RouteCodeNumber. But That's normaly not needed. Normaly you only want to see a Message from your Programm during RunTime, that gives you Information about what's going on.

In some Systems you can use RouteCode=11 tu issue an WriteToProgrammer with the WTO command. In this case you can see the Messages under JESJCL in SDSF.
