Local fix

Problem summary

• This enhancement implements a new situation take action command,
   ZOSWTO.  This new command will cause a multi-line WTO to be
  executed on a z/OS TEMS or z/OS agent.  APAR OA48275 provides
  the function on the z/OS TEMS.
  
  The new situation take action command, ZOSWTO, will cause a
  multi-line WTO to be issued on the z/OS TEMS that an agent is
  connected to or on a z/OS agent.  The message will be produced
  when the situation is true or false.  The message ID will always
   be KO41041I.  Any data that follows the command name, ZOSWTO,
  will be present in the multi-line WTO.  When the situation is
  false the values of substitution variables will be NA.  The
  format of the message will be as follows:
  
  KO41041I  SITUATION EVENT
  ZOSWTO situation_name:node_name<optional_display_item_value> T/F
  customer_supplied_command_data
  
  The actual message data will be broken up into 70-character
  sections on a maximum of 5 consecutive lines.
  
  By default, Descriptor code 12 and route code 2 are used by the
  WTO operation.  These can be changed by specifying
  ZOSWTO_DESCRIPTOR_CODE and ZOSWTO_ROUTE_CODE in KBBENV.
  Multiple codes may be specified using comma separated values.
