JCL and PARM Data Maintenance › Additional Override Statements › #MSG Statement

#MSG Statement

The #MSG statements let you send messages to the CA WA CA 7 Edition Master Station at job submission time. These statements must begin in column 1 and are placed in execution JCL members on the JCL libraries. The edit facility, with the JCL command of database maintenance, can be used to add these statements. The statements can appear within scheduled overrides, in which case sending the messages is conditional.

This statement has the following format:

#MSG,message-text

The message-text in columns 6 through 72 is sent immediately preceding the submit message. The actual #MSG statements are never included in the submitted JCL.

Note: The same rules for other # statements also apply to the #MSG statement.
