On my V4R3 machine I prompted for the VRYCFG command and read the online help.  
Messages that may be monitored for include:

I wrote a simple cl program

      &LINE            /*                                         */ + 
    )                                                                  
    DCL  &LINE        *CHAR   10 /*                                  */
             VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(&LINE) CFGTYPE(*LIN) STATUS(*ON)        
             ENDPGM                                                    

Notice:  No monmsg yet.
If I varyon a line that is already varied on I get No error message.
If I vary on a line that has no hardware resource I get CPF2659.
If I vary on a line, in which the resource is being used by another line, I get 
CPF2659.
If I vary on a line, which doesn't exist, I get CPF2659.

Subject:        MONMSG for Comm Line Vary on/Off Questions...

Hi folks,

I am trying to write a CL to allow certain users to vary on a Vendor
support line in case they cannot get hold of me.

No big deal to write a CL to do this and have a CMD call the CL.

I was TRYING to MONMSG for whether or not the vary command completed.
The one's I was monitoring for are:

CPD27D0 - Line &23 vary on failed.
CPD2645 -  Line &1 already varied on.
CPC2607 -  Vary on completed for line &1.

I have used MONMSG before to trigger other events, etc. but can't get it
to work with these and I am BEGINING to wonder if it is due to the TYPE
of message they are.

They do not go to the program message queue but rather they go to
QSYSOPR. Without monitoring for them in the CL, the CL does NOT get an
error so I guess MONMSG does NOT work in this(these) case(s) ?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated !

Chuck
