Issue WTO Message to z/OS Console and Wait for Reply
The following illustrates the issuing of a WTOR message to the z/OS console.
A reply is required.
The message text "This message is written to the Console" will be written to the default z/OS consoles.
The process will wait 120 seconds for a required reply. If a reply is not received within this time, the WTOR message is deleted and Universal WTO ends with exit code 2. The reply length is limited to 119 characters. The reply is written to UWTO's standard output file.
Note
A valid operator reply to a WTOR message can be zero characters. In this case, nothing is written to stdout.
