The SWSWTO built-in function provides a means to issue a MVS write to operator. The SWSWTO function allows a message to be written to the MVS operator console. Optionally, a route code may be supplied. If a zero route code is supplied, the default will be used. The route code is one of four string constants, which is described below. Each constant determines a set of route and descriptor codes, which is described in the IBM publication - - Assembler Services Reference. ## Coding SWSWTO To code the SWSWTO function, use the following format: `RC = SWSWTO( textstring ,<route code>)` Valid Route Codes
Route Code | Description
Informational | desc codes 4,9 route code 1
Warning | desc codes 4,9 route codes 1,11
Severe | desc codes 2,11 route codes 2,11
Hardcopy | None
## Return Values The function returns 0 (zero) if successful and non-zero if the WTO failed.
