How to remove '+' sign in the SYSLOG message

I am sending a message to the SYSLOG through a program. The message is displayed with a prefix of '+'

for eg:

+IKJ999A THIS IS A TEST MESSAGE

Is there any way to remove this prefix('+' sign)

Morning Sir !

No chance to eliminate that sign. Its system related when Messages from programms are send to Console.

When you issue a WTO with three plus-signs, four will be in the JesLog.

Example:

TRACEMSG_STRT DS 0H
MVC WTO+31(03),=C'123'
WTO WTO '+++ MDL10030 TRACE-MSG-XXX ',ROUTCDE=11
B TRACEMSG_EXIT

JesLog:

10.10.43 JOB56243 -J120830X STEP010 00
017 Jobname: J120830X Stepname: STEP050
017 Requested Size below Limit below
017 0 8704000 8806400
10.11.20 JOB56243 ++++ MDL10030 TRACE-MSG-123
10.11.32 JOB56243 ++++ MDL10030 TRACE-MSG-123

@Craq !

Shure about the printer-sign ???

By looking at the JesLog it seams to be right in the middle of the text. And CarridgeControl is just at line-beginning.There are ASA-Signs there.

1 J E S 2 J O B L O G -- S Y S T E M M T
0
10.10.42 JOB56243 ---- WEDNESDAY, 18 JUN 2008 ----
10.10.42 JOB56243 IRR010I USERID J120830 IS ASSIGNED TO THIS J
10.10.42 JOB56243 ICH70001I J120830 LAST ACCESS AT 09:57:48 ON
10.10.42 JOB56243 $HASP373 J120830X STARTED - INIT 436 - CLASS

The plus-sign is just at the same position, where the dash-sign is, when Line with JobName is printet. Also same Position as $ when HASP is printed. Seams to be JES specific.

10.10.43 JOB56243 -J120830X STEP010 00 15
10.11.20 JOB56243 ++++ MDL10030 TRACE-MSG-123

The trainee forum had this same topic submitted by Dolby and an informative post from Mr Spock. He said when using the WTO macro to write to SYSLOG, an APF-authorized pgm does not add the '+' to the message! I tested and confirmed his solution.

superk

Yep. We had this problem when our team asked the Sysprog's to provide a utility to us that we could use to create test system messages for automation. It wouldn't work without the proper APF authorization of their module.

APF-Authorization, that's the point !!!

i dynamically added my pds member in apf library.
i executed my program but still i'm getting '+' sign.
