Q: Question:
Can a user application write to the console.msg file? We
have tried to do this with an echo in the program which does
write to the message file but then CICS overlays the user
text with its subsequent messages. Can you explain how we
should do this.

R: Response:
The CICS/6000 product logs its messages to a file called
"console.msg" in the /var/cics_regions/"region"/ directory.
This file may be written to by CICS/6000 applications as a
means for debugging or logging information.
Any data written by a CICS/6000 transaction to its AIX
standard error output destination (stderr) will result in
the data being written to the console.msg file.
From a C language application, this may be coded as follows:
#include
Other C commands
fprintf(stderr, "Data to be written ....");
From a COBOL application, the coding is as follows:
DISPLAY "Data to be written ...." UPON SYSERR.
Relevant AIX and COBOL documentation should be consulted for
specific parameters of the "DISPLAY" and "fprintf"
commands.
