MSGS entry for message sent (Part 1)

This trace record is written each time VTAM® sends a message to its destination. It can be used to correlate the console log with the internal trace. The destination may indicate that the message was sent to a system console (by way of a WTO macro) or to a program operator application, such as the NetView® program (by way of an RCVCMD macro).
