Sounds doable. And I could just use a CA-OPS/MVS TOD rule to do it. Someone has pointed out that CA-OPS/MVS is already trapping all console messages and doing a match against the MSG rules, followed by a dispatch of any REXX MSG rule(s) which match the message id. So putting in a well coded REXX CA-OPS MSG rule may not add that much overhead. The plus of a MSG rule is that I don't need to keep track of whether I have already dispatched the WTOR out via an SMS message.
