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.
