I found variations on the locate command at http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r12/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.zos.r12.f54em00%2Flocate.htm

One in particular is confusing me. What command (if any) can I use along the lines of
Code:
'LINE_BEFORE .zcsr = MSGLINE "'!!temp!!'"'


to create the ==ERR> text in the prefix area ?

It has been a decade since I did this, but ==ERR> applies to data lines, not message lines and the easiest way to produce one is to do a change command that will fail on that line. I used to do a change command that I knew would fail due to line expansion beyond hte record length. Something along the lines of changing things
Code:
 C P'=' '   ' LAST .XXX .XXX  /* try to change last character to multiple blanks on one line */

I think that will do it but play around with this idea if my example is not quite right. For multiple lines you will need more logic, maybe to do each line individually or changing the last character (as determined by data_width).
