RE: WRKWCH suggestions to replace HALCYON joblog monitor

Those things you are seeing in the second level text are not substitution
variables. Those are formatting characters. When you do DSPMSGD or
WRKMSGD they do not show as those format the message text based on those
formatting characters. But they do show in &SECLVL.
That was a fun exercise to figure out. Then I had to go search for the
proof. The proof is in the help for the command ADDMSGD.
...
Message help can be formatted for the work station using three
format control characters. Each must be followed by a blank

Note: When formatting the message help for the display station,
the format control characters must be followed by a blank space.

o &N Forces the message help to a new line (column 2). If the
help is longer than one line, the next lines are indented to
column 4 until the end of the help or until another format
control character is found.

o &P Forces the message help to a new line, indented to column 6.
If the help is longer than one line, the next lines start in
column 4 until the end of the help or until another format
control character is found.

o &B Forces the message help to a new line, starting in column 4.
If the help is longer than one line, the next lines are indented
to column 6 until the end of the help or until another format
control character is found.
