WRITE OPERATOR enables an application program to write a message to the CICS System Master Terminal (CSMT) Log. The TEXT data-value is written in the CSMT log along with the keyword 'WRITE OPERATOR API (0x6C02) Message', data and time stamps, and terminal information.

Options

TEXT(data-value): A data value that contains the text that is to be sent. If the text that is specified is more then 120 bytes long, it truncates to 120.
TEXTLENGTH(data-value): Specifies the length (fullword binary value) of the text. The length is in the range 0 through 120 bytes.
ACTION(cvda): This option is not supported by CICS, and should not be used in applications that run under CICS. However, if this option is present (for example, in a migrated program), the translator ignores the option.
CRITICAL, EVENTUAL, IMMEDIATE,: This option is not supported by CICS, and should not be used in applications that run under CICS. However, if this option is present (for example, in a migrated program), the translator ignores the option.
MAXLENGTH(data-value): This option is not supported by CICS, and should not be used in applications that run under CICS. However, if this option is present (for example, in a migrated program), the translator ignores the option.
NUMROUTES(data-value): This option is not supported by CICS, and should not be used in applications that run under CICS. However, if this option is present (for example, in a migrated program), the translator ignores the option.
REPLY(data-area): This option is not supported by CICS, and should not be used in applications that run under CICS. However, if this option is present (for example, in a migrated program), the translator ignores the option.
REPLYLENGTH(data-area): This option is not supported by CICS, and should not be used in applications that run under CICS. However, if this option is present (for example, in a migrated program), the translator ignores the option.
ROUTECODES(data-value): This option is not supported by CICS, and should not be used in applications that run under CICS. However, if this option is present (for example, in a migrated program), the translator ignores the option.
