Salam Wa Aleykum, Saad. My name is Tim Tierney, and I work for the University of Nevada. In order to write to the MVS console, you need to use the WTO, or WTOR macro. The WTO will allow you to just write a message, and the WTOR will allow you to write a message and wait for a reply from the operator. By the way, I'm an MVS/ESA systems programmer. I worked in Riyadh from 1984 - 1986 with GOSI in Riyadh, and from 1986 - 1989 with StorageTek in Kuwait. I'm thinking about coming back over, and I'm wondering what the contract situation is over there. Any information you could provide, especially if you know of a company needing a systems programmer, would be appreciated. Shukran, Tim
