This keyword might be used instead of DESC=5 to indicate a command response. This is supported, but DESC=5 is preferred, and the WTO should be changed if convenient.
Descriptor codes can be changed by the installation's message exits, but MCSFLAGs cannot. For maximum flexibility for the customer, DESC=5 is preferred.
Old code might have the "register zero interface" (REG0 or QREG0). If these keywords are specified, the console ID is placed in the low-order byte of register zero before the WTO is issued.
Only a 1-byte console ID can be specified this way, so this code must be converted to use CONSID=.
(Note: ).
You may be issuing several messages (instead of one multiline) in response to a command. This should not be changed. Changing the messages in this way would be a serious incompatibility for any automation programs which were analyzing the messages.
"New" messages should be designed as a single multiline response, if possible.
