> Is there a WTO module which can write a message (highlight message) on a

You can change this to issue the message as desired. Alternatively, as others mentioned, you can write an MPF exit for the step completion WTL message but you will need to parse the message for the completion code. > The message displayed by WTO just comes up but i want it to br displayed as > a RED colour message with outstanding message number to suppress by operator. You don't mention what message is already displayed. z/OS does not have such a message to the consoles. I suspect you already installed the IEFACTRT from the CBTTAPE. Message numbers imply WTOR which require a wait on the ECB (or delete the WTOR). You can issue the WTOR and WAIT from IEFACTRT mentioned above. The job will be paused at this step until the operator responds to the WTOR. If on the other hand, you want the job to continue, then forget about WTOR. Instead, you will want to use WTO. WTO & WTOR route codes and descriptor codes used to be documented in the first volume of the z/OS system messages manual. I suspect it is still documented there. These will help you determine the best way to get the results you want. Be aware that your messages may affect operator's who use the D R command because of message retention changes. > There is very little that you can NOT do with an MPF exit.

Some system recovery messages can and extremely restrictive and will require special handling (e.g. linkage=branch). Many messages don't have any restrictions.
