1. The OMVS command is a Language Environment application. OMVS overrides
the default Language Environment; MSGFILE ddname (SYSOUT) and uses
ddname SYSFSUMM.
Normally, any Language Environment; error messages from the OMVS
command are displayed on the TSO/E terminal. If you want to redirect these
messages, you need to allocate the SYSFSUMM ddname instead of the
SYSOUT ddname, as is usual with Language Environment; applications.
2. The language of the OMVS command messages is determined by the PROFILE
PLANGUAGE setting when OMVS is invoked. Do not change PROFILE
PLANGUAGE while OMVS is running
